Hello & Happy Tuesday to you!
We sure have a line up of events these next 2 weeks, and we need volunteers at all of them.
Mar 6: PAS meeting. Our wonderful speaker for this month is Steve Coe. He has done talks to our club previously and he does a great job and is appreciated. He will be bringing his new book for sale and signing.
We have snacks for this meeting, thanks to those who brought snacks to the MOM Assembly Party this past Thursday, and we never got around to eating them. We will also have bottled water. Please plan to bring a spare $1 to donate to the snack fund.
Also, we will be raffling off a wrapped gift this meeting, donated by Mark Stephenson. He arrived late at the PAS Social and donated his gift to be raffled off to raise money for the club. $1/ticket.
We will also be raffling off a meteorite donated to PAS by Astronomy Magazine to raise funds for gas those attending the Mayer event on Apr 12th. Proceeds from this raffle will be divided up among the vehicles driving up to Mayer. $1/ticket. 12-15 meteorites were donated for this event. We will only raffle off 1 per meeting starting with Mar PAS Meeting, and the the Mar MOM's, and then the April PAS Meeting. The others will be used at other events in a raffle to help raise funds. More info on that as it becomes available, and if you have any ideas on other ways to do this, to use up all 15 meteorites prior to the Apr 12th event, let me know by email events@pasaz.org. Thanks.
The 50/50 raffle will also happen. So, you can purchase for any of the above raffles by getting $1./ticket or $5/6 tickets to put into which ever raffle you are interested in joining. Purchase tickets from Terri at beginning of meeting, and we will raffle everything off at the end of the meeting, after the speaker has finished. You DO need to be present to win all items listed above.

Mar 14: What a busy day!!!
There is a star party at N. Mountain Park Visitor Center, the first of 3 this season and more to come. Come with your telescope and everyone you know. This should be an awesome night for viewing. RSVP with me events@pasaz.org. We are setting up at 4:30pm and showing fro 5pm to 9:30pm. Park closes at 10pm so we must be out by then. Public invited and 8 public have RSVP'd with the park and 2 more have RSVP'd with me so far. I have Don, Rod and Sam assisting with me on this one. If you wish to volunteers or RSVP attendance, please do it today. Thanks for your help.
And there is a Wow Star Party at the Phoenix Zoo. RSVP with Chet if you can attend to help out. Chet needs your help. RSVP your attendance with him today at chetsch@cox.net. Wow star parties are NOT open to the public. Only PAS Telescope operators attend these events. If you can help that night from 6pm to 9pm, that would be awesome! Thanks for your assistance.
Mar 15: A very special night. This is a star party for the public to LEARN TO USE YOUR TELESCOPE! PAS telescope owners and operators will be assisting the Public with learning to use their telescopes. WE chose a night that has a Moon so that you can use the light of the Moon to get familiar with how your telescope works so that when you come to a dark sky location with PAS in the future, you will know how to run you telescope in complete darkness. We will be at PV Park from 6pm to 10pm and RSVP is required. If no one RSVP's from the public, the event will be canceled. Watch for announcements on this as the date gets closer. RSVP is with me events@pasaz.org.
This covers the events for the next 2 weeks. Please RSVP the correct person by the day before the event, if you plan to attend or volunteer. Everyone attending either as a volunteer or a guest needs to RSVP in case we need to cancel the event due to weather. Would love to see you at our events.
For more fun PAS events, please go to www.pasaz.org and in the left column choose UPCOMING EVENTS. See our events for all of 2008, including upcoming Speakers at the PAS meetings & more. WE ARE THE MOST FUN CLUB IN TOWN! LET PAS BE YOUR TICKET TO THE STAR!
