ran successful POH

We had a good Public Open House. Easy prep during the day. I made the name tags (had to tape the plastic holders to ensure the paper inserts didn't fall out). Had an early dinner. We staggered the parking lot duties. Sharmin took photos!

Tony was the MC.

The talks by Ian and Steve were good.

We had a brief window of clear skies. I floated for much of the event.

I did a brief introduction to Stellarium for the hangers-on. I wanted to do a virtual sky tour but they were more interested in how the software worked... There goes my script!

A few familiar faces. Met Michael. Lives not far from the CAO. He seems pretty keen!

We received over $200 in donations.

Sharmin put all of her CAO weekend shots on Facebook.

A couple of women attended the first talk but then spent the balance of the evening upstairs in the living room. Huh? Part of Bren's crew? Someone had a lot of fragrance on. Made my eyes water. Date night at the observatory?
