Thanks to all who worked at the July work party... on a nice party cloudy summer day, temperatures just under 80, a nice day to get things done. Bruce Blanchard cleaned the clubhouse out, John Davis mowed around all the buildings, and Ray Burk was a weed wacking dervish.

I got a start on scraping the Gaertner observatory in preperation for a paint job one of these week ends.

We may get a mention in an upcoming Astronomy Magazine (Thanks Jim Zebrowski!), thanks to John, Ray, and Bruce for posing for some pictures. With Dan's, I've got a stack to send to the magazine, let's see if something makes it to print!
