Event Report

Comments and anecdotes about the event:
Our second time helping out at LIGO-Livingston for their Science Saturday event. It was a BLAST! Too cloudy for solar observing, but despite some rain, we had a great crowd. We had 12 volunteers on site so we made a huge showing on behalf of the club. Hopefully we'll be back soon!
