[Kenneth Frank]

Hello AANC club members,

Starting off the new year with calendar information from your club can be posted on the 
AANC calendar for distribution:
http://aanc-astronomy.org/calendar/index.html

Send them to Alan.
All Alan Gould <adgould at comcast.net> requests is that you have your dates ready to post, 
with no editing required, or better yet
a link to your specific info for the year from your club website.

Here's an example:

ANNOUNCING THE 2009 GOLDEN STATE STAR PARTY!

We are pleased to announce that the Golden State Star Party in 2009 will
again be held under the very dark, clear, and hospitable skies of Frosty
Acres Ranch near Adin, California. GSSP 2009 will happen a little
earlier this year, starting on Saturday, June 20, and ending Wednesday, June 24.

The Early Registration Period begins on January 2, 2009 and ends March
30, 2009. The adult registration fee for all four days is $50. The fee
will increase to $60 on April 1, 2009, and to $75 after June 12, 2009.
As in previous years, children under 18 years of age will be free.

Sponsored by The Astronomy Connection (TAC), this event has established
itself over the years as the premier star party in California. GSSP will
continue to feature the darkest skies available to large groups in
California and a huge observing field ideal for camping and equipment
set-up. In addition to observing activities, attendees can also enjoy
nearby wildlife refuges, geothermal sites, Burney Falls, state parks,
swimming in nearby Bieber, and other activities. We also plan to have an
encore of last year’s popular Ranch Day event hosted by the Albaugh’s
and other local families.

For registration and more information, visit our official GSSP Website
at http://www.goldenstatestarparty.org
Register early and take advantage of the lower registration fee.
We hope to see all of you at the Golden State Star Party in June!
