El Valle Astronomers: Summer Cleaning and Re-organization
(sent out on 7/13/2010)
Do you want to be part of our PHONE TREE for STAR PARTIES ?
If YES, please respond to this e-mail and give us your current phone numbers and any other info that you think we could use.
We will then set up a phone tree so that we can be more flexible in scheduling times, dates, and locations of star parties… and make sure that you know about them.
This is the way we did things when we first started.
Because we need clear skies, a lot of our communications will be closer to the actual star party date, when good conditions are more assured. The phone tree will also give us more flexibility in location, as well.
For example, Lee could decide to have a star party at his house in Rinconada in two days. Using the phone tree, he could quickly get the word out.
This will also make it easier to get a group together to go to a house in Taos, or the campground at Wild Rivers, or some dark sky location you know about.
Individual members will now be able to quickly and easily set up a star party at a location of their own choosing. First, they would make sure someone with a telescope will be there. Then, they can activate the phone tree on their own. They can invite friends and neighbors, bring in some munchies or a whole pot-luck, and we are off to the Stars!
Regarding the schedule that was published at the beginning of the year: We are cancelling those star parties that have not taken place yet. If someone would like to take ownership of one of those dates, then that person can proceed to organize the star party as described in the preceding paragraph.
