<DIV> I have no problem if someone else wants to do it. I
thought this would be how I could best help at this time. I would be glad to
pull out if others are interested. I am sure more experienced members would have
more to offer in recommending Astro books. I could offer a newbie version for
new members. Maybe a co reviewer by an experienced member and a new member would
be a novelty. But, If they want to split up the work I would be glad to do the
grunt work it that would help. I not really interested in the other ones as I am
trying to get as far away from my former work life as possible and I would find
it a return to work and stress , something which I have been away now for a
number of years and loving stress free retirement.leaving me to follow my
interests. Maybe something else will come up in the future that
I can help the club out. It is great that people want to volunteer.

<DIV>Thanks </DIV>

<DIV>See you at Starfest. </DIV>

<DIV>Ho Joe, I hope you are enjoying your summer. Seems that this position is
very popular, with others also volunteering. Frankly I would also take it on
if I was not the President this year. Likely we will have to have a draw to
see who the lucky winner is? If its not your name we pull out of the hat would
you accept one of the other positions? <BR><BR>Andy Blanchard

<DIV>Hi Andy</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>I would be glad to help out as the Librarian in some capacity. I love
books and reading my only problem is that I don't know much about Astronomy
as some of the other members most likely do but I could write reviews
and organize the library and loan out books Let me know if I can help.

Announcement] Board Update</DIV>
<DIV><BR></DIV>
<DIV></DIV>
<DIV>Hello fellow members, I hope you are enjoying the summer and the very
clear sky's we have had in July. I recently got back from a
motorcycle trip to the west coast, and aside from
a sore<B> </B>bottom it was a visual and olfactory overloading
experience. This email is an update to let you know the board has been
meeting and planning all summer. At the most recent Board meeting we
discussed the following new and old positions that we would likes to add
back on the board:<BR> <BR>Librarian<BR> <BR>This position is a
new position, the librarian would purchase ten astronomy or science books
over the year. Read a book a month and then provide a report to the
members at the regular monthly meeting and to Orbit on the books
content. Set the book up in our bookcase and loan it out to
members who would also like to read the book. Not a big job, but one that
should be a lot of fun and enjoyment not to mention educational for the
librarian.<BR> <BR>Membership
Director <BR> <BR>This position as the name implies
would be the person responsible for keeping membership lists, renewals and
new member tutoring and mentoring. This also is a very rewarding position
and would best suited to a person who likes to meet and involve people
in our club<BR> <BR>Banquet Chairperson<BR> <BR>This job is
mostly on automatic pilot. The chairperson would locate a venue, sell the
tickets and book the speaker. Our template last year can be copied and
improved upon.<BR> <BR>If one of these positions sound like it might
be a interesting 1st step to becoming more involved, then drop me an email
or call me so we can discuss it further. I encourage everyone to strongly
consider getting involved. Clubs like ours don't just happen, its members
stepping up and chipping in. Be a participant and discover the real fun
begins the moment you get involved.<BR> <BR>Our 1st meeting of the
fall season dare I save is only several weeks away, being the 1st Thursday
of September. Traditionally the 1st meeting is a member night, when
members display photos of star party's, astronomical objects, or projects
and purchases that they have made. Basically a old fashion "show and
tell".<BR> <BR>See you
soon <BR> <BR> <BR> <BR>Andy Blanchard<BR><A
