Hello all,

Dr. Richard Olenick, physics professor and professor of astronomy from the University of Dallas will be leading our astronomy teaching friday nite.  He was going to come to our campout friday nite to show us the stars but things came up and so now we are going to meet him at the UD observatory where he has their 16″ telescope set up and thru which we will be observing the heavens.  He will join us soon at an upcoming campout, but this time, we will go to his place.
I will need your feedback on you participation at the UD observatory as soon as I can so that we can have a good head count for Dr. Olenick.  This is true even if you cannot make the campout but do wish to make the observatory event.    Please let me know of your participation as soon as you can but no later than Tuesday nite, Feb 25 (yep, fat tuesday).  You can sign  up, providing a note in the relevant section when you purchase your campout, send me a text at 972 375-1934 or call me at the same number and let me know.  Camp Fee is standard:  $15/person, capped at $45 for 3 or more persons per family.
