National Astronomy Day News
Our Inaugural Meeting was held on Saturday, April 28th, 2001, at the Aurora
Public Library in Aurora, Colorado. It was decided by the charter members
that we would meet from now on, every Wednesday on or before the Full Moon.
We will start out being a low-key organization—no officers, no
by-laws, and no dues. Just Astronomy, observing, and comraderie.

To reach the Theater or Activity Room, enter the library main
entrance, proceed straight in, past the elevator, and follow the wall on the
left. It will jog to the left into the Children's Books section, and both
rooms are adjacent, on the left.
These are NOT the conference rooms immediately to the left as you
enter the library.
