 Greetings Astronomers and Friends, February 17, 2010
 
 For the year 2010, Carlsbad Caverns National Park will be developing and
 hosting six “Star Party/Celebrations of the Night” events. We had them
 this past summer and they were a great success.
 
 We would like to invite local astronomers, star gazers, or night sky
 admirers to join us, participate, bring a telescope, or just post the
 events on your club calendars. Please contact me of your potential
 interest and how we might be able to assist you in attending or partnering
 with us for these future events.
 
 The events are on Saturdays and are as follows; June 12th, July 10th,
 August 14th, September 11th, October 9th, and possibly a forthcoming event
 in November. Additionally, we will be developing a Full Moon Program March
 27th.
 
 Feel free to pass this information to club members and the local community.
 
 Sincerely,
 
 Kevin R. B. Mohr
 Supervisory Park Ranger
 Carlsbad Caverns National Park

Hello Everyone:

Ms. Denise Williams of the Village of Corona,NM Library Board asks members of the New Mexico Astronomy email list for help in hosting a star party at Corona School on April 22, 2010 in conjunction with other Earth Day activities. Alan Hale will talk to the 82 children at the school. Corona is southeast of Mountainair, New Mexico. Corona means crown in Spanish. Does anyone want to have a mini-vacation in Corona, NM? Several of the Corona Library volunteers have guest rooms and/or casitas, and would be delighted to extend hospitality to a limited number of astronomers should they decide they'd want to help host a star party on April 22.  In addition, there is a motel and a bed and breakfast inn in Corona.

Please contact Ms. Williams if you are interested in helping. Denise's email address and phone number are dawquilts@gmail.com and 505-573-8230. Any help you can offer is greatly appreciated.

Regards,
Melissa Kirk
