Hi all,
Just got off the phone with Jeff vom Saal of the Spokane Symphony. In
mid-November they're having a space / Apollo-themed concert. Jeff reached
out to us at Valleyfest about maybe doing 'something' in concert (ha!) with
them. It's all very up in the air right now but I want to get it in front
of the Board. Some points:
- The concert will include a multi-media show (film, photos, etc) by
artist / astronomer Jose Francisco Salgado. There is a good possibility
he'd be willing to meet with our membership at some point during his visit
and talk astrophotos, space-y stuff, etc
- We could possibly do a sidewalk astronomy event before or after one of
the shows
- We could possibly set up some scopes in the lobby before or after one
of the shows
- There is a good possibility of getting a group discount if we can get
a number (20+ ?) of people to go to one of the performances.
This is a good opportunity - but if we're to pursue it I need the Board's
approval and of course volunteers to help put this together.
What say you?
Clear skies,
Nick
