Annual Meeting of the Central Arkansas Astronomical Society

It will take place at the home of Bruce and Becky McMath at 6:00 P.M on Saturday December 16th.  It is a pot luck and BYOB. We will elect officers.  The nomination committee has set for the following slate:
Steve Block, President; Ed Swaim, VP; Jim Dixon, Treasurer; Bruce McMath, Secretary (who can’t spell); Board members, Carl Freyaldenhoven, Chris Lasley, Danny Flippo, Jai Groce.  Any member may make additional nominations at the meeting and if any are made an election will take place. Awards are great fun and follow the elections.  Then it is all socializing and fun.  If you have a musical instrument, bring it.  See you on the 16th.
