Jenny that is fine, I responded to both the board and Dave, because I am wiling
to help with this. you can take point.
I have no problem with that. You have some good ideas on locations and how to
promote the event. You can count me in to volunteer at the event.

site like Fishtrap with a group like INLC. Their job is conserving land, ours
is a focus on preserving dark skies. We can combine this by having a party in
conjunction with them on one of their more urban properties, such as at the
easement they secured for Riverside state park or similar. It gives them a
chance to show the benefits of conserved, wild areas near urban areas, and us
a chance to show why the dark skies near urban areas need to be preserved.
An outreach partnership with INLC could be very cool and also prove
very beneficial for astronomy long term in the area.

Yes we would be interested. We tend to have our dark sky star
Parties out at the Fishtrap there is parking out at the trail head. But
if you have land that you would perfer to have a star party at I am sure
we could work with you. I am forwarding this to our board, so they know
what is going on.

Hi Debbie,
I’m the director of the Inland Northwest Land
Conservancy; we are putting together a calendar of events for the
coming year and have discussed the possibility of doing some kind of
stargazing outing on one of our pieces of conserved land. Would the
Astronomy Club be interested in partnering on such an event? We are
currently flexible regarding date and place, and open to any
suggestions.
Thanks,
Dave
