A great and very good attended meeting. Chapter director Steve Siedentop started the meeting with opening remarks which was followed by Ken Poshedly with a talk about the upcoming ALCon2013. John Towne gave his monthly “What’s Up” for July/August and Jack Fitzmier finished the roundup with a presentation about planning your observing efforts using the AL’s observing programs. Some 5 very young astronomers attended with their parents and they were intreaged by the activity the sun produces, and loved NASA’s MSL mission with Curiosity. Great parents and kids, and we hope they will be back some time soon to explore the Universe from Charlie Elliott’s Astronomy field.
