Hi folks,

First off, a few of you are not yet members of the Yahoo Group (John O.,
Gary H., Lisa and Geoff, Mike B. and Ed M.). I have included you in this
message via "BCC" (blind copy) so that you will have this initial message,
but you will miss all the replies posted back via the Group. If you would
like to stay informed, please take a few moments and join the Group:
http://groups.yahoo.com/group/RACAstronomy/
I'll be standing by if you have problems joining.

Now, to the point. A small number of new folks have recently contacted me
with interest in attending meetings. If the interest is there (as indicated
by responses to this message), I would like start having meetings on the 4th
Saturday of every month at 7PM in the Lester Hospital Conference Room. The
4th Saturday works well with the Moon phase throughout this entire year. As
before, after the meeting, if the weather permits, we would travel somewhere
for some stargazing (Torii? other suggestions?).

So, I would like to hear back from those interested in having meetings. If
we start again this month, the 4th Saturday is 24 June. Also, what would
you like to see at the meetings? Specifically, what would you like to see
at THIS meeting? In the past we have either had a presentation from a
member or watched a video and then had a short discussion before heading out
for some viewing.

Now that we are basing our communications on this Yahoo Group, we should do
much better at brainstorming and coordination. Once you are on the Group,
every time a reply is sent to one of these messages, everyone in the Group
automatically receives it.

Best regards,
Mike
