Ron, I would give my left reproductive organ to give a presentation, but the timing right now sucks. When the dust settles (hopefully sooner rather than later), I would be honored to personally waste the time of the distinguished members of the OAS.

Greetings all, My name is Ron Vanderhule, currently serving as president of Ogden Astronomical Society. As those of you that have been in this position know, arranging topics for club meetings can be challenging. I have served as president before and always try to get a live person in front of the members for lectures or demonstrations. Some of the astronomy and physic professors from WSU oblige us once or twice a year. So, the purpose of this post is to extend an invitation to the area astro community to consider helming an OAS meeting. Many of you have spent hours putting together a presentation for SLAS and have given it once. Here is your opportunity to dust it off and present it again. If you are not a club member of any kind, just an avid astronomer with something to share, that would work also. If your topic is short we could bundle it with something else. Our open floor meetings ( aka show and tell ) are our favorites. So what topics? Anything from atm'ing to plasma theory. We are flexible and open. Our long time member Dale Hooper gave a demonstration on Radio Astronomy at SLAS last spring and will present it for OAS in Nov. Our meetings are held at the Ott Planetarium on the campus of WSU ( gloat ) with the high tech contrivances available for use. Our meetings are held the second Thursday of the month at 7:30 pm. We would gladly reimburse for fuel costs if desired . So there you go. If anyone is interested contact me:
