Volunteers needed for Baylor/ELO event on 2/10/2018
Baylor park is having a Luminary Cross Country Skiing and Dog Sled event on Saturday, February 10, 2018 from 6-9 PM. We will open ELO to have folks stop by and look through our telescopes. If it's cloudy we will have tours and a talk in the classroom.
We will need six to eight volunteers to help out. You don't need to be a keyholder to help out but we will need a couple of keyholders to help open the observatories and get the telescopes running.
We will meet at ELO at 5:30 to open up the observatory. If you want to grab an early dinner at Thirsty's at 4:30 indicate that as well.
Please respond to this post.

Re: Volunteers needed for Baylor/ELO event on 2/10/2018
Tomorrow night looks to be a great night for observing, as well as for Baylor's event. We're expecting clear skies, light winds, no Moon and temps in the low teens. I am expecting the event will be well attended. It runs from 6-9 PM so it won't be a late night. Those who have helped out in the past always say what a fun time it is.
Thank you to those who have volunteered to help out. We could use a few more volunteers so we can man all the telescopes and have enough to rotate personnel and allow folks to warm up in the classroom. Just a reminder that we will be meeting at 4:30 at Thirsty's in Norwood-Young America to grab an early dinner. Otherwise plan to be at ELO by 5:30 to open up the place and get the heat on in the classroom.
See you there!!

Thirsty's is out of business. Sign says they closed Jan 1 but hope to have new ownership sometime in 2018.

For what it’s worth, it was -1 degrees on my car thermometer as I drove out of Baylor Park tonight after the event.....

Thanks Nancy, Bernie, Dave and Dave for doing most hard work last Saturday. That was a cold that hurt, especially when the cough came back.
