For once the weather cooperated with us Saturday evening.  The temperature reached 97F that day and I was expecting the visitor center parking lot to be a bit uncomfortable but it wasn’t.  We had mostly clear skies and a mild breeze.   I counted 8 club scopes in action and perhaps two more as well.  We had an estimated crowd of 77 souls and many lingered till close to closing time.  In all, our first successful public event of the season.

Other events coming up:

• July 18 – Woolly Hollow State Park
• July 25 – Pinnacle Mountain State Park
• August 22 – Pinnacle Mountain State Park
• September 19 – Pinnacle Mountain State Park
• November 7 – Woolly Hollow State Park

CAAS will have two meetings this coming Saturday, March 14th.  First, at 6 PM, we will have a Board Meeting to discuss some items of interest.  All members of CAAS are welcome to attend but this is strictly a business meeting.

Then at 7 PM, we will have our regular monthly meeting.  CAAS will be hosting Girl Scout Troop 663 that evening to help them work on astronomy related merit badges. This is a small troop of about 8 girls and our own Samantha Dixon is a member in good standing.
