(We cannot use the Visitors\u2019 Center because of the volumous  musical event happening  right outside of the  conference room.)        We will follow the covid regulations for Archuleta County &amp; Colorado for that date.  Bring a mask &amp; of course, respect each person\u2019s decisions for their safety.

If you have not used one, you will find out how helpful they are. Please bring cash or checks since the club cannot do credit cards.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">We will have a brief program on Messier Objects. Since April 22, is Earth Day, we are asking that each person prepare a few sentences on \u201cmy favorite place on Planet Earth.\u201d Bring a picture, if possible.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">If you would like to join the San Juan Stargazers we can still add your name to the list of people receiving Reflector Magazine which is the publication of the National Astronomical League of which you automatically become a member.
