We used the Moran County public library meeting room for our regular meetings
for about a year after SFCC demolished the campus building we had used for
decades prior.
We could only reserve that room on a month by month basis, but the price was
ideal, even if the location wasn't. No location is perfect for everyone. I
liked that venue.
I just checked, Moran Prairie's meeting room is currently only open during
their regular library hours. So that does not include our previous meeting
time. I will continue checking there and elsewhere.

The Spokane COUNTY libraries have meeting rooms and I know of some other clubs
that use them on a periodic basis.

Hello Ed,
Thank you for your e-mail, well unfortunatelythe SAS as a club is pretty much
inactive at this point. The covid-19 prettymuch took down the SAS club mostly
from the lack of meeting space. Our regularmeeting place, the Spokane Falls
Community College planetarium and the other locationsare off limits at this
point.
If you or anyone would have a meetinglocation like a classroom that can be used
the first Friday of each month from7:00 pm to 10:00 pm please post your info
here.
I have looked into several citypublic libraries and they are not open in the
evening and were not interestedin booking continual events month after month.
Millions of dollars spent onnice new public buildings and you cannot really use
them. Thank God for the taxpayers!
As far as club activities, apparently thereare club star parties at our
observing site - fishtrap, west of town. This is at the new moon. You can find
a map to fishtrap on the SAS web site.
Also, there is some kind of Facebookpage for the SAS, there may be some
information found there.
We also have a SAS club newsletter (“TheAsterisk”) that has stopped publishing.
The last newsletter was in October 2021,eight months ago.
I have attached the last Asterisk tothis reply.
If we can find a new meeting locationfor monthly meetings, the first order
would be to elect a new board of directorsand review SAS society functions and
operations and what is left. And get the Asteriskback in operation as well as
collect SAS dues.
The Spokane Astronomical Society isthe oldest Astronomical Society in the
nation (since 1932) it would be a great lossto have it disintegrate because the
leadership vacated their positions.
