From gary at bendun.net Mon Oct 7 16:51:43 2013 From: gary at bendun.net (Gary Bennett) Date: Mon, 7 Oct 2013 16:51:43 -0400 Subject: [RASC Hamilton Special Announcement] New - RASC Family Membership - Finally! Message-ID: <037301cec39f$0c577e40$25067ac0$@net> I am happy to announce that we finally have a RASC Family Membership. And it is a bargain too! Before this, we had only a Regular Adult Membership ($ 83/year) and Youth Membership ($ 41/year). Now we have a Family Membership* which is $ 78.00 for the 1st Adult + $10.00/add'l adult + $5.00/youth. * Family means up to 2 adults and 2 children living in the same household. Each Family Membership receives 1 copy of SkyNews Magazine and Observer's Handbook to share. We have a few families that currently have 1 Adult & 1 Youth Membership. The new Family Membership means the cost for both is the same as a single Adult Membership. Which one is right for you? We have a few solo Youth Members who have the same privileges and a regular Adult Member EXCEPT that you need to be an adult to borrow club equipment. A Family Membership is a good option because the adult member can borrow equipment. I welcome your questions.

We a looking for some volunteers who would like to have some fun this Friday and Saturday. Really! No work, just fun! RASC owns 2 antique telescopes (1880's & 1890's vintage) and the "Bell Telescope" is on loan to Westfield Heritage Village. They are in every respect, works of art. A few times each year, Westfield organizes special "theme" evenings and this weekend is "Haunted Halloween". Mark Pickett along with a few volunteers will dress in "period costumes" (Westfield supplies the costumes) and provide a stargazing show to visitors. What is a "period costume"? Check this out: http://www.hamiltonrasc.ca/gallery/westfield-heritage-village/ Rather dapper wouldn't you say? The only experience required? None, except having fun! Please contact Mark Pickett ASAP: vumari (at) cogeco (dot) ca NOTE: This event will be cancelled if rain is likely. Mark will contact the volunteers with a status update.
