THERE’S MORE THAN ONE WAY TO MEET UNDER THE STARS!
Dear fellow astronomy buffs,
Always in motion are the stars and planets. So too is our membership and the ways that we may gather to share our enthusiasm and enjoyment for astronomy.
Effectively immediately, KW RASC’s monthly Stargazer Meetings may be attended in person or remotely. In person meetings are usually held in our regular meeting room at Wilfred Laurier University, Bricker Academic Building, Room BA112. However, please check here in advance as the meeting room may change. Alternatively, KW RASC members may join remotely. Non-members with Zoom accounts, and who register in advance, may also join us remotely.
We’re learning how to combine these two very different ways of staying in touch with our membership, so please bear with us!
