Event Report

Comments and anecdotes about the event:
We concluded our 2022/2023 observing season with a very large attendance at Robinson Preserve. We had 13 telescopes in the field with other members working our new table setup. They distributed information about the club and answered questions. We added 3 new members from the interested attendees. In just 3 years our stature and credibility has really grown here in the Bradenton/Sarasota/Venice Suncoast area of Florida. The community eagerly awaits next seasons events.
