Sticky June 2025 Party is less than 3 months away!
|
Hello everyone!??
?
Today is Thursday, March 27.??
Yesterday we had some snow showers, this morning was 26 degrees, it's now doubled to 52, and they're forecasting 78 degrees for Saturday.
Welcome to spring!? Actually, winter was crazy warm and cold around here, too.?
?
I am now looking forward to enjoying the warmer temperatures and outdoor activities I love, including astronomy.? How about you?
?
As I mentioned on the website, I have arranged for AC power to be available during the event.? Not primitive anymore.? I have a quote for the red covers for the bathroom lights, which I will be ordering in the next few days.? The remaining lights are a few security lights, and they will have red covers shielding overflow lighting as usual, while providing the needed security for the office area.? I wish to thank the PA State Park people for their cooperation.?
?
Now I would like to ask a favor.? Many of you go to other parties, as well as this one, which is understandable, each party has its own unique features.? Many of you also belong to clubs.? Please submit this party's info to your club newsletter, so that your other members are aware of the dates and website.? I know some of you do this already, and it has been greatly appreciated and helpful.?
?
I would also ask that you share this info with friends in other clubs, newsletter editors, and websites.? This may always be a small party, but right now it is tiny.? I sometimes wonder if I should call it the Shoestring star party.? I would like to do this party as long as possible, in spite of the expense increases in the last year. They've almost doubled since I started at this park.? I'm not talking about the things I've purchased; that's something else.? I'm talking about the fee increases and insurance I'm required to have.
?
Don't get me wrong, I am not planning to stop.? I just need to grow this a bit to become more sustainable.? Together, we can continue to enjoy this site for many years.
?
I'll thank you in advance for your help and look forward to seeing many of you at this year's parties.??
Clear Skies and safe travels.

Phil, We appreciate your efforts and continued support for events like this one.? I've asked that our webmaster and newsletter person (CCAS) put this event's information on both aspects.? Good luck and keep the astronomical faith. Clear skies, Don Miller Observing Chairperson CCAS On Thu, 27 Mar 2025 at 20:44, Phil De Rosa via <philderosa1=[email protected]> wrote:
