IMPORTANT ANNOUNCEMENT
Swap Meet Cancelled! Banquet
is still a GO! (change in location!)
Good news, Bad News. On May 23 we
learned that the Holiday Inn where we are hosting our Swap Meet and Banquet
suffered a catastrophic electrical transformer failure. It actually exploded
and took out several load bearing walls.
The hotel was able to accommodate our evening banquet at their Burlington
location so we are 100% a GO for
the banquet. Unfortunately, this
location is NOT suitable for hosting our Swap Meet event. Being that this is
prime-time wedding season, we are not able to secure a new location on such
short notice. This leaves us with no other choice but to cancel the Swap
Meet. Rather, we are postponing it until next year.
Naturally, we are more than a little disappointed. The organizing committee
has invested hundreds of man hours in the planning and execution of this
event, but this is an outcome that is beyond our control. The good news is
that planning for next year is already underway and it will be an even
bigger and better event that will include exhibits from some of the major
astronomy equipment manufacturers.
The Banquet is still a GO and
we still have a few tickets available. The deadline for ticket reservations
is June 1.
For
directions to the new banquet location:
The evening gets underway with Hors D'Oeuvres at 5:45 and the formal banquet starts at 6:30 PM and features our special Keynote Speaker, Terence Dickinson.
Of course, no astronomy event would be complete without great door prizes!
