Monthly Meeting Minutes
January 2005
Once
again, I think, the weather and distance had a hand in keeping our annual meeting
at PCIS Planetarium, limited to few in number. Too bad, as we
had a good time, in spite of it. Bill Luzader,
did a great job as usual, trying to present us with a north, south perspective,
as far as the sky is concerned. Constellations that can and
cannot be seen, from either hemisphere, as well as other interesting facts.
I had mentioned, trying, in reference to Bills presentation, as he was running
into some problems, with the 30 yr. old projector and would like us to know
that a small donation of $500,000, would remedy the problem, with a new digital
unit. So anyone out there, with a few quid to spare, by all means, contact Bill.
After
Bills presentation we opened the meeting to old and new business. We discussed
the
topic of outstanding club assets, mainly the telescopes, and Louis assure us
that if they are brought in, to one of our next meetings, he would be able to
take them. Louis will be storing our assets at his place. I will be sending out
a brief message, asking any of our members, who have one of the scopes, to
bring it in to one of our next meetings. Bruce Gerhard,
brought to our attention, the activities of the "Center for
Astrophysics". They have viewings, at the Oak Ridge Observatory, in the
town of
Lastly,
there was a further reminder to board members present, of the upcoming board
meeting, this Saturday, January the 8th, at 5:00 p.m.
The meeting was pretty much over
at this point, so most of us, sat around for awhile, shooting the breeze,
having a good time. A pleasant evening, in comfortable
surroundings. That's about it until next month. Keep thinking good
weather and above all,
Keep
Looking Up!
