It is Time!
Yes, our outreach efforts are hands down the best they have ever been! There are many members in the society and on the board of directors who have made this a reality. I am very proud of those efforts! Now it is time to make in-reach just as big a success story!
Andrew Gallagher and Doug Williams want to make SVAS fun and provide more opportunities for SVAS members to “do astronomy”. We will:
1. Emphasize in-reach and member services to provide real value for your SVAS membership.
2. Provide and support a Telescope Workshop to help people learn to use their telescope, fix and improve their telescope, or even build a new telescope from scratch.
3. Restore Star-B-Q to its former glory and make it better than ever.
4. Provide additional star parties and a section at our existing star parties dedicated to helping beginners learn to use their telescope and improve their observing skills. This will be modeled after our highly successful Messier Group that has fallen dormant.
5. Make every effort to end the petty politics and bickering surrounding memberships.
Andrew Gallagher has worked hard to provide SVAS with four outstanding Star-B-Q events! He was not involved with the 2009 Star-B-Q but he is coming back to host the 2010 Star-B-Q and make it better than ever. Andrew is a current SVAS Director.
Doug Williams has served as SVAS Secretary for three years and Director for one year. He has hosted the SVAS contingent of the Yosemite Glacier Point Star Party four times and is doing so again this year.
Both Andrew and Doug have attended numerous star parties and worked hard to improve HGO and provide services to SVAS members. Your vote will allow us to do more than ever for you!
Come to the March 2010 General Meeting! Speak with a ballot voting for Andrew and Doug! Bring astronomy back to the core!! It is time to make SVAS fun AGAIN!
