1 GTAS 0 Event Planning Calendar This calendar is a PDF print of NASA's SkyCal for 0 with text added for events with Nitro PDF Creator (Reader ), a free program. The official copy is maintained by Bob Moler and located in the members section of the gtastro.org website. ( Links to the official calendar of events will be placed on the main Gtastro.org page around December st or about the time the December Stellar Sentinel come out. Copies of this planning calendar will be ed out to interested parties whom we have events before. Dates are assigned first come first served. The GTAS dates were decided at the November th board meeting. I (Bob) have added other tentative dates. Two are for the Sleeping Bear Dunes National Lakeshore (SBDNL) in August and October, though I'm not sure of the August date because it's the concluding event of the Port Oneida Fair. For events to be held at the Northwestern Michigan College's Rogers Observatory contact Dr. Jerry Dobek jdobek@nmc.edu. For other events such as star parties (nighttime viewing), Sun viewing, presentations to school groups and organizations contact bob@bjmoler.org or info@gtastro.org. Bob Moler, a NASA/JPL Solar System Ambassador generally handles presentations with the aid of computer graphics. As a Solar System Ambassador Bob cannot accept compensation for his presentations, except for cost of supplies such as dry ice for dry ice comets. The GTAS doesn't charge for events but accepts donations. Donations help defray costs of insurance on the society's telescopes and other equipment and also fund our library telescope program, in which small telescopes are given to local libraries to lend.
