The 2005 RASC Observer Handbooks and Calendars are here!

We just received our order for the RASC (Royal Astronomical Society of Canada) Observer Handbooks and astronomy calendars for 2005. They'll be available at SJAA meetings and at the SJAA swap meet for as long as the supply lasts. (If you can't make it to the meetings or swap and would be willing to cover the mailing costs, contact the club Treasurer to arrange a purchase.)

There is one little fly-in-the-ointment... their prices have gone up. SJAA will be absorbing the increase on the calendars--still $10 (retail is $13.95). However, SJAA's margin on the books is so thin, we cannot sell them for $15 any longer. The new price will be $17. However, that's still WAY below the retail price of $23.95.
