President's Letter

The BAS board will meet on Wednesday, February 5th at 7 p.m. at Anser Charter School 202 E. 42nd. St. Garden City. We will continue to discuss the multitude of activities we have planned for the year. Prior to this meeting we will hold the first organizing meeting for the 2020 Idaho Star Party™ starting at 6:30 p.m. All BAS members are welcome to join us.
Our next membership meeting will be on Friday, February, 14th this month member Dr. Brian Jackson will be presenting on the star Betelgeuse. Prior to the general meeting we will hold the first in our series of “Beginning with the Basics” classes for our members. This month, Dr. Brian Jackson, PhD, will talk about “What you need to know, the history of Astronomy.” The class runs from 6:00 – 6:45 p.m. We have already scheduled the 2020 Idaho Star Party™ at Bruneau Dunes SP, ID. We are still in the process of inviting a guest speaker for this event. As you know, this is a great event and well worth the time and modest expense to attend. Besides ISP, we are also planning a full 2020 event schedule including the Messier Marathon at Bruneau Dunes SP; the Bogus Basin star party in July along with star parties at Ponderosa State Park in August; and many other school and club star parties throughout the year. We continue to accept membership dues for 2020. The dues remain $25/family for the year. You may now pay via Credit Card at the meetings, the cost for the credit card use increases the dues to $26/family. Make sure you keep receiving all of the benefits that come with being a member. Get out there, explore your universe. David Olsen, President Boise Astronomical Society |
