THERE’S MORE THAN ONE WAY TO MEET UNDER THE STARS!

Our MAY MEETING will be in Room N1104 in the Science Building at Wilfred Laurier University. It starts at 7 PM, Friday, May 9. We will bring you up to date on the latest in the night skies. You will want to see Michael’s Messier Minute. We are working on other things to talk about. Free parking is available in front of the Bricker Academic Building. Come hang out with people who really know the night sky.

Everyone is invited. We will give your curiosity a work out.

(Check our presentations from past meetings in meeting presentation page.)

Congratulations Jim. Well earned.
