President's Letter

Bruneau Dunes Observatory is officially open, as always, we need volunteers. You may sign-up to volunteer provided you have completed the background check. You may get the form from the BAS1 yahoo group files section. To volunteer please call the park directly at (208) 366-7919. When you call please make sure they need you for the evening and the weather looks good. You will also need to log your hours with the observatory in the BAS logbook.
The monthly board meeting will be on Wednesday, the 5th of June at Anser Charter School. We will be holding our Idaho Star Party™ pre-planning session beginning at 6:30pm and then the regular board meeting at 7:00pm. On Friday, the 14th, of June, the monthly meeting will be held at 7:00pm at Anser Charter School located at 202 E. 42nd St. in Garden City. Our speaker this month is Dr. Kathryn Devine from the College of Idaho in Caldwell. Prior to the regular meeting we will be hosting the Beginning with the Basics class also at Anser Charter School, which starts at 6:00pm. This is the last class this year for the Beginning with the Basics group. During the year and throughout the nation libraries have adopted the theme of “A Universe of Stories” and some local libraries are no exception. There has been some requests to the Education Co-Chairs asking for volunteers to provide outreach to the requesting libraries. If you would like to help out with an education request please contact our education co-chairs, Ciera Partyka-Worley, or Brian Jackson. Other opportunities to volunteer for educational outreach are available as well. We have a star party scheduled for June 1st in Idaho City and one on June 8th at Dedication Point. As always a GO / NO-GO message will post on BAS1 Yahoo group and on facebook letting you know if you would like to attend. If anyone might be interested, the Idaho Falls Astronomical Society is holding their semi-annual Craters of the Moon Star Party at the Caves area parking lot at the Monument during the weekend of June 28th and 29th. More information can be found on their website IFAS events. Clear skies until next month David Olsen, President BAS |
