Possible presenter for women’s retreat

Post by defalkner »

Posted on behalf of Stephanie Carpenter, Wilderness Canoe Base Director

Hi, this is very last minute, but the weekend of September 5-8th, Wilderness Canoe Base (the end of the gunflint trail out of Grand Marais MN…adjacent to BWCAW) has a long standing women’s retreat. This year we are focusing on the fact we are part of the dark sky sanctuary. I have $ from a donor to purchase a telescope.. but do not know enough to do so… not how to use one well. I’m looking for someone to help us decide what type telescope to purchase and perhaps someone to come to our retreat and teach us to use it. We do have funds to pay people for such assistance. Thank you for any guidance you can provide.

Peace and Joy,
Stephanie Carpenter
Wilderness Canoe Base Director
