Event Report

Comments and anecdotes about the event:
This was a club potluck picnic. We met at the home of Kathy and Kurt Hillig, who gratiously hosted us, as the also did several years ago. We had 16 club or about to be club members there, both very veteran, and brand new. The food was excellent and of course we ate heavily. The weather forecast indicated we would have nearly zero chance of clear skies, but we did. Despite the high hunmdity, killer mosquitoes, and very bright Moon...we set up two telescopes and viewed a few Messier objects and Alberio. A great time was had by all!
