More Library Telescopes

Three of us were in St Louis last Saturday modifying telescopes to put in Southern Illinois libraries. AASI members Ru Tanner (on the left) Rachel Young (in front) and Harry Treece (on the right) worked with Don Ficken (second from the left) and his crew from the St Louis astronomy clubs to get telescopes ready for the libraries in Carterville, Anna, and Carbondale Illinois. We already have telescopes in the Carterville and Murphysboro libraries.

Dues Time Again

We hope you have had a great year enjoying the night sky’s of Southern Illinois. Over the last year, we have had numerous technical presentations at our old haunt, Paglai’s Pizza in Carbondale, as well as numerous Public Viewings (such as Blue Sky, Alto Pass, Jacob with Adler, Murphysboro STEM Project, Giant City, Carterville Library and more). We hope you have had as much fun as Harry and Jan, Lane and Cindy, and Raune and Debra and your Board have had this year. There are so many wonderful members of this association, with some very SMART people in the crowd.
We are officially a 501 c (3) organization now. We are a nonprofit educational organization focused on astronomy. We are a part of the Astronomical League and part of your dues provides you the Reflector Magazine.
It’s that time of year when our dues are requested. Our dues have remained steady for many years. We ask for $25 for single membership and $35 for family membership.
Please bring your dues to the next meeting, or if you cannot be there, please send to our PO Box.
