Message-ID: <010801d19f0c$7aef44a0$70cdcde0$@bendun.net> Just in case you missed this on our web forum: Who wants to do some star gazing? We have an impressive number of fun events coming up between now and early July and we know you will want to be part of it! The Board of Directors has been very busy working on the 5 year plan that we announced a few months ago. We now have a formal outreach program that is guaranteed to be a ton of fun. Those events include: Westfield Heritage Village - Star Party : This is where our club antique telescopes are on display. A few times a year we get to bring them out of storage and use them for some actual star gazing. On May 13 Westfield is having their public Star Party and we will be there to share this wonderful hobby with people who are looking through a telescope for the first time. Royal Botanical Gardens has 7 evening events between May 7 and July 9 and we are part of the entertainment. Club volunteers get in FREE but everyone else has to pay $ 40.00 to be there! Transit of Mercury happens on May 9 and member Ed Mizzy has organized a fun day to celebrate this rare event We need volunteers to help man the telescopes at these events and we can't think of a better way to share this wonderful hobby with the public. Not only is it a heap of fun, you'll feel good about helping out too. Beginners are especially welcome volunteers, so don't be shy. The public will ask some questions that you might not know the answer to but they like to hear that you joined an astronomy club because you want to learn more. Some experienced astronomers will be there to make you feel welcome We'll arm you with some fun facts to share with the public and you will come away feeling like an expert. To learn more about these fun activities (and sign-up to volunteer), visit: http://www.hamiltonrasc.ca/programs/all-it-takes-is-a-smile-and-a-telescope/ Oh, and don't forget, AstoCATS/CAPS: - CAPS Astrophotography School : May 19 & 20 - AstroCATS / RASC General Assembly: May 21 & 22 http://www.astrocats.ca/ Gary Bennett THIS IS A 1-WAY EMAIL MESSAGE.

Come out and have a coffee with friends and enjoy a couple of hours of open discussion. The seed subject will be Telescopes, yes, telescopes. They come in all different sizes and configurations, so which is best? Your moderator will introduce the subject in a short presentation before opening the floor for discussion. Any subject is acceptable as long as it looks like science, quacks like science, and walks like science. Hope to see you there!
