Here’s a reminder of some upcoming events. * February General Meeting - Besides the board meeting and the February speaker (see page 1), the February General Meeting is also the Annual Meeting where the Board of Directors is elected. Roughly half of the board is up for election each year. * Messier Marathon - It is a bit earlier this year, March 8. At this time, the fate of the state parks such as Henry Coe and Fremont Peak are in doubt due to budgetary discussions going on in Sacramento. How this would affect SJAA is unknown at this time. * SJAA Auction – The famous SJAA auction will be held this year on April 20. Some adjustments in the telescope lending program means that there may be more bargains than usual this year. By the way, there were 10 scopes available for loan as of January 14, 2008.
