Event

Sycamore Hills Elementary is looking for speakers on July 15th starting at 10:00 am. John Jezak has volunteered to be the first speaker. Thank you, John!  Could we please find some others?  John will also bring his solar telescope the kids could look through.  It would be awesome to find maybe a few other volunteers to bring telescopes the kids could look at.

Ideally we are looking for speakers, probably 2-3 people, to talk to the students and possibly let the students check out the telescopes. 

We are looking at 7/15 and are estimating 65 students for our summer program.
