We will meet on Friday February 14th, 7:00pm at our winter venue, Spokane County Fire District 9 firehouse, located at 3801 E Farwell Rd in Mead. This month we will hold nominations and elections for club officers and board members. This an opportunity for the membership to get involved with determining how this club functions. Your new ideas on leadership, vision and energy would be a boon to the functioning of this club! Current club Secretary and Astronomical League representative, Ed Gill, will share some information and observing program booklets that accompany the AL observing programs. Outgoing club President Matt Wallin will give a presentation on Spring Galaxy observing, outlining why this time of the year is so favorable for peering outside our own galaxy, with suggestions for impressive sights for optics of all sizes.
