[LVAS] EOP: Upcoming Events

[David Blanchette]

Just a reminder that there are a lot of opportunities to show off the 
stars to students in our valley's schools.  I can especially use some 
help at this Monday's Death Valley ROCKS event.  We're expecting 70 
kids, and that's a lot for one telescope.

Let me know as soon as you can if any of these events appeal to you.

Thanks.

Monday, March 15, 2010  Death Valley ROCKS
Observing will start 8:00 or 8:30 PDT.  This is the Monday after our 
Messier Marthon weekend.  You'll still have your stuff in the car, so 
you might as well come out...

Thursday, March 18, 2010  Marc Kahre ES (K - 5th) (Two, half hour 
presentations only)  5:30-7:30
The principal, sighting safety concerns, is restricting this event to 
the give time frame.  So we will have two, half hour presentations on 
the Solar System, and no observing.  I'm looking for one or two 
speakers.  The presentations do not have to be the same.

Monday, March 22, 2010  Death Valley ROCKS
Giving about 40 students a chance to see the stars in the 
dark.  Sunset about 7:00 (PDT), First Quarter moon.  You're welcome 
to spend the night observing.

Saturday, March 27, 2010 Cub Pack 133 campout @ Valley of Fire
These guys contact us every year, inviting us to come out to their 
campout.  They always seem to select the wrong weekend.  But if you 
are available and want an overnight camping event, here you 
go.  They're expecting 45 people (25 scouts, 7 to 10 years old, 20 
adults).  They will be at Group Campsite #1 (where the scouts were 
just this last weekend.)  Depending on the number of cars they have, 
which I will try to find out, we may be able to set up in one of the 
two parking areas provided for that site.

Thursday, April 15, 2010  Darnell ES Science Fair  6p - 9p
We will have a booth where we can talk to the people about the club

I will need someone to coordinate on site, as I will be out of town.

Friday, April 23, 2010  Mt. Olive Lutheran School  7:00p - 9:00p
Twice-postponed due to weather, hoping third time 
lucky.  Presentation on the Moon, and Constellations, followed by observing.

Monday, June 21, 2010   Lamb of God ES  9 - 10 am
For approximately 30 students, grades 1 - 6 (combined).  Ideally, 
they would like someone each day of the week of June 21, for an hour 
long class on astronomy.  If someone(s) want to volunteer for this 
much, that would be terrific.  At a minimum, they'll take a single 
class on Monday, to kick off the week.  If you are interested in this 
event, please let me know ASAP, so I can follow up with the school.
