Club business: ELECTIONS. We need volunteers and nominees, please!
Elected positions: President (2-year term limit); Vice President; Secretary; Treasurer.
There won’t be time for member observing reports, sorry.

Guest Speaker: Bob Prokop, “Star Hopping to Earth’s Nearest Neighbors”. Bob is a former president of the Howard Astronomical League (HAL). He specializes in using manual star finding techniques (aka star hopping) to observe stars in the Solar Neighborhood. Most of these stars are very faint. It sounds like a prodigious feat!
