Committed to the cause…
Greetings my astronomical friends! I wanted to make an announcement that I am committed to making the Eureka Springs Astronomical Society work! This corner of Arkansas is in need of a amateur group for local astronomers. Currently the closest group is the better part of 2 hours away, a long way in this economy. Not to mention I want to share my observatory with others when it gets built. This will help me to learn more about amateur astronomy and enable me to help others with questions and needs locally. My plans are in no particular order…
1: Build an observatory and make it open for use to members of ESAS.
2: Register ESAS as a non-profit organization.
3: Register an official domain for ESAS
4: Build a website that allows interactivity amongst it’s members.
5: Get involved in the local community.
6: Attend and plan regional star parties.
7: Recruit members, particularly those with more experience in these fields than I do.
If anyone reading this can help with any of the above plans, I would greatly appreciate any input or advice. If you are interested in joining up (local or not) the door is open. I REALLY want this to succeed and need your help to do this.
