*We need more volunteers for TOURS, SOLAR TELESCOPES, & evening telescopes as usual, and fun/engaging outside ACTIVITIES/TABLES for both adults and children. We are also in need of a day time PHOTOGRAPHER to provide pics with the Clark-Saegmuller telescope. 

One activity that would be fun: the plastic golf ball as an "eyeball" that burns up w/o a solar filter when placed at the telescope eyepiece.

Please respond under the Outreach Portal if you would like to volunteer. Thanks!

Volunteers are encouraged to dress in Steam Punk/Victorian costumes!
