December 2024 President’s message

by Linda Bergemann

As winter approaches, we are packing up and moving away from Seagrave Memorial Observatory for the next few months; we’re moving south. Our monthly meetings for December through March will be held at the North Scituate Community House, 546 West Greenville Road, North Scituate 02857.

Our December meeting will be on the second Saturday, December 14. We will begin early, at 5 PM, with a Holiday Potluck Dinner, followed by our speaker, Steve Hubbard, at about 6 PM. Steve’s presentation will be about his recent trip to Alaska to view aurora. Please bring your family and join us to celebrate the holidays! RSVP to Kathy Siok (kathys5@cox.net) if you plan to participate in the potluck dinner.

For January, February and March, meetings will be on the first Saturday of each month at the North Scituate Community House. The meeting start time for these months is currently under discussion; perhaps late afternoon instead of early evening. If you have any ideas or preferences on the meeting time, please email me your thoughts at lbergemann@aol.com.

Lastly, be advised that the portable rest room will be removed from the observatory property on December 4. It will return in April, when we resume meetings at the observatory.

Wishing you a happy and healthy holiday season,

Linda
