helped at Probus event

Helped with the Probus group event at the Carr Astronomical Observatory. This education and public outreach event was scheduled with a main date on Thursday and, originally, a rain date on Friday. Unfortunately, both of those nights looked grim weather-wise. So we offered Saturday night for a make-up date.

Generally, I monitored. Helped set up the Great Room seating. Arranged our loaner telescopes. Set out our RASC brochures. Answered questions of visitors. Guided some members, in the dark, to the Geoff Brown Observatory. Wore my scrolling LED badge.

Quite a good event, with 40+ visitors, despite the weather. I sense all our guests were rather impressed.
