Hi Rodger, What's say you invite her to Thursday's board meeting? We could followup a face-to-face with her with an experimental, unpublicized star party at the site so we can see what it's like before considering adding it to the schedule (i.e. learning from this year's mistakes). patrick On 08 Sep 2008, at 14:30, Rodger C.

Bob, I didn't think that there is a charge to get into Wheeler Farm and there isn't. I called them and talked with there director (Shari) and asked if they would be interested in persuing this and they sounded thrilled. There are several options that we could consider that might include a no charge event in the parking lot or other location within the farm to a class and star party where we would get 75% of the fee for the class and they would get 25%.
They thought that the idea of a star party fits very well with their concept of promoting life on the farm and would be very interested in persuing this as an option.
I told Shari that I would talk this over at our board meeting and then perhaps we could meet with her in the coming weeks to discuss options. At any rate, she sounded like this would be a great enhancement and draw for their facility.
