This month’s general meeting will be held at our new winter venue, the Spokane County Fire District 9 firehouse, located at 3801 E Farwell Rd in Mead. After extensive inquiries by our board, we found many venues to be unaffordable. District 9 is accommodating us gratis, many thanks to District 9, and to SAS Secretary, Ed Gill, for doing much of the legwork and setting up these arrangements. We can expect ample space with a parking situation that will be well plowed this winter. Food and drink, with the exception of water, are prohibited by this venue, however, all who are interested, there are plans for a post-meeting meetup at the Hop Mountain Taproom & Grill, located a couple miles north at 14017 N Newport Hwy. This month’s topic is a bit of a rerun, but hopefully the many new members and those unable to attend the original February presentation at our previous winter venue, Sacred Heart, will find my presentation on “Telescopes, Eyepieces, and Optics” to contain some useful information about choosing equipment and getting the best performance from it.
