FEBRUARY , MARCH  &  APRIL  STARGAZER  UP-DATE  FROM  JOAN         2-20-2022<\/u><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

It certainly has been a snowy  winter, but our drought needs every possible  flake.  We are canceling  the  February  25th<\/sup> Star Party<\/strong> due to the snow on the ground & the new snow expected the week of February 20th<\/sup>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

March<\/strong>, we hope will be different, with 3 Star Parties planned  for  Fridays:  the 4th<\/sup>, 11th<\/sup> & 25th<\/sup> & one on April 1st<\/sup>. Some of those dates must be successful. Even having a small group of people will get us going on using the 4 CRIA  telescopes & other preparations for this summer.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

On each night we will start around 4PM while it is still light enough  to get the scopes set up.  There will be hors d\u2019oeuvre served as  folks arrive.   As  it  is  getting dark we will be eating  Stouffer\u2019s Lasagne & salad.     Then we will be  using our scopes until we get tired.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

All this will be at the home of Bob & Bernadette Sikes. They are easy to find, one block off Hwy #160. (I don\u2019t want to put their address on the web-site.)  If you need help, or want to R.S.V.P., Bernadette\u2019s number is  720-626-9304.   Please  park on the road or at the beginning of the driveway.  Telescopes will be set up closer to the house.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The club will be providing the Lasagne & salad, but I am asking you to bring a simple appetizer, drink or dessert  for snacking. If you can\u2019t bring something, just come anyway.  None of us will starve!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

OTHER  THINGS  TAKING  PLACE IN  APRIL<\/strong>:   April 29th<\/sup>  & 30th<\/sup>  is CRIA (Chimney Rock Interpretive Association) Annual Training.   On Friday, it will be at the Tennyson Center  from about 9 AM-3:30 PM, a nice lunch is included.  On Saturday there will be a Special Private Tour at the site from 9 AM to noon, followed by a small lunch.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Here is  the  situation  that  you should  note:  If a stargazer  volunteers  at Chimney Rock, you  are  considered  a CHIMNEY  ROCK Special Astronomy VOLUNTEER<\/strong>.  Other Chimney Rock Volunteers must<\/u><\/strong> attend this training & take 1st<\/sup> Aid & CPR classes (the cost is covered by CRIA.)  We get a break because of knowing astronomy & telescopes.    But,  the more we know about Chimney Rock & safety, the better.  We also  are welcome at any CRIA activity without having to pay, but being willing to help, if needed.  It is all part of a group effort. I hope many of you will attend the training  R.S.V.P. at the CRIA office =970-731-7133.  Also call that # if you will take 1st<\/sup> aid & CPR.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

FYI:<\/u><\/strong>  There is one 2022 calendar left. If some one wants it at a reduced price, let Joan know.(303-995-2888) Or if you ordered it & didn\u2019t pick it up, tell Joan  before it is gone.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I will   be giving everyone a  2022 Summer Schedule.  There will be a lot happening.  I expect that not everyone can attend  everything, but please do  your part to  be  an  active  member  of  the  club and remember  that  the more  you put  into something, the  more you will learn & get out of  it.<\/u><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

I also have an up-dated  list of members with phone numbers & e-mail addresses.  All names & addresses have been sent  to the Astronomical  League so everyone should be getting the REFLECTOR  MAGAZINE.  IF YOU HAVE NOT GOTTEN   IT,  PLEASE LET  ME  KNOW   A.S.A.P.  so I can fix it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

There are some  members  who  have  not paid  their dues  for  2021-2022.  Dues  are  NOT for a calendar  year but  run from  July 2021  to  June  2022.  It is confusing, but how  the  Astronomical League wants it.    It is only $25  for both San Juan Star Gazers & the National  Astronomical League including  Reflector  Magazine.  Money 1st<\/sup> goes to the League & for  REFLECTOR.      The more  money  we have as a club, the more we can do for our members.   THANK  YOU!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

IF YOU  HAVE  ANY NEW  IDEAS,    CHANGES  OR  IMPROVEMENTS,   PLEASE  LET  JOAN OR  JERRY  KNOW.   WE NEED TO GET A  BOARD  OF DIRECTORS TO HELP.  PLEASE LET US KNOW  IF YOU  WILL VOLUNTEER. You are needed!!!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
