Fwd: [EXTERNAL] Re: Request for Astronomy club program - Feb. 12th

[jim and sandy phfistner]

Hi All:

I realize this may be an early request, but Joan usually needs advanced notice to finalize her Events Schedule.

Is anyone interested in vounteering? With 15 participants, 1 to 2 more scopes will compliment the big scope.

Let me know ASAP, so I can feedback to Joan.

Thanks, Jim

P.S.  Happy Thanksgiving to you and family.

Hi Joan:

I'll discuss your request with Bob and other club members, then let you know.

Hey Jim and Bob,

Just wanted to ask if the astronomy club can come help with our nocturnal naturalist class on Sat. Feb. 12th for about an hour beginning at 5:45 pm.  The moon will be waxing gibbous, so not completely full but more than half.  Bob did a great job last time for our class in light of pandemic concerns we adjusted our program to be safe.  

Don't know whether the virus will be surging in February or not, but we can adjust as it gets closer.  The class size is 15 and they will be warned that part of this class is outdoors at night in February.  They will be dressed to be ready for this.  We will be getting out of the planetarium program and would love to have this part of the class at the observatory.  LBL is already aware that I am going to request this of your club.

If the virus does get too bad for the entire club, I was hoping that Bob could do what he did last year.  That is if you feel comfortable with that Bob.  Anyway, just wanted to open the discussion.

Joan
