Hello Rand,

I thought I had replied to your message via Webmail while I was out of
town, but I never saw my reply in the "Messages", so I'm trying again.

Our February meeting is scheduled for the regular 1st Friday, which,
this month, falls on February 1, the date you have in mind for the
stargaze. Since we just had a stargaze in lieu of a meeting, I'm not
sure we want to do this back-to-back. Do you have a rain/cloud date in
mind? Feb. 9 will be our star party date. Maybe we could have it
there if you can reschedule.

I forwarded your message to AAS prez, Rhon Jenkins for guidance.

We'll try to let you know ASAP.

Russell
