Dear ACA Members,                              2015 May 22                                                     Updated: 20140526

 

Below is a draft Calendar for 2015-16.     

1.  We need our calendar so that we can schedule observing/invite speakers/programs. 

     Meetings:  usually on Fridays, 7PM.   Observing: usually on Saturdays at NMR-DSO, except as indicated.

     Please check these dates with your personal calendar and reply email if this works for you and your family. 

     If you find conflicts, please reply email now, so that we can work out a better schedule. 

    Your input is most appreciated.   We will try to finalize the 2015-16 calendar soon after the May meeting.

2.  We would also like to get your feedback on what kind of speakers/ programs you would like to have during  the

     2015-16 season.

3.  Many Thanks to Stephen Miller and Tedda Howard for preparing our Calendar.

 

Sincerely,

Kenneth Beard, ACA VP Programs
