Tonight we have Ron Hranac presenting "Meteorites: A Collector's Perspective." on the DAS Youtube livestream channel Here at 7:30 PM MDT.
Please join us for the presentation and ask questions via the Youtube comments.

We have made the decision to extend the cancellation of all indoor DAS events through June 30, 2020 because of concerns about COVID-19 (Coronavirus). The cancellations include April, May and June Public Nights, Open House, In-Reach, and VNH Scholarship Committee meeting. Public Night reservations for for all months will be blocked.

The E-Board meeting will continue to be held via conference call instead of in-person.  All members are welcome to attend these meetings, and conference connection information will be provided as the time approaches.

While we are extremely disappointed that we cannot continue with these events as planned, we believe this is the right decision given the current circumstances.

We are monitoring the situation closely and will make further decisions in the coming days and weeks as appropriate. We will continue to review our guidance based on official advice.

Please check the Member Portal or our website, denverastro.org for updates, which will be posted as the situation evolves.  Questions may be directed to president@denverastro.org .
