My apologies,? TAAS. I don't know how the TAAS email got into my list to email. Of course you are all welcome to attend. Parking will be a premium this weekend but the attendance will be electrifying!? All the grads, parents, grandparents and alumni will all be in attendance.

This Saturday is Commencement Weekend at Wesleyan University.? As such it is also our Public night.?
It is our largest attended event of the year!? Even if it's raining we will have 100 guests come through to tour the observatory.?
Many of you have already committed to attend so consider this a reminder.? For those who have yet to commit, please consider attending and bringing a telescope if it's clear. If it's cloudy or raining we will still open. There is no canceling this one!? We are already listed in the Wesleyan calendar for Commencement Weekend for Saturday night from 9 - 11 PM.
Those who have already, ahem, 'pledged fealty,' (oh have I been watching strange TV), I have:
Marty
Dean?
Chris
Cyndi
John & myself.?
Definitely have room for more.
Because parking is premium & it's been awhile since I got vehicle and plate information please send me the vehicle you will be driving and the license plate # so I can give it to Public Safety.?
Public Safety and Parking Authority have been asked to cordone off Lot O specifically for our use but that doesn't stop everyone.? Especially the "I have donated a lot of $$" you know the type.? Most people are super pleasant and understanding If we see them.
Some of us are already committed to a solar observing outreach all day Saturday so it's possible we may not get there super early to protect our limited parking assets. Do try to arrive early and remember your parking passes for your dashboard!
If you lost them just print up one:
ASGH VOLUNTEERS FOR VVO
That will do on an 8.5x11" paper at 38 point!
Thank you!? I definitely look forward to seeing you all again on Saturday!
