Important Meeting Updates
- - - HOV Training, Needed for SpaceVision - - -
We are still needing High Occupancy Vehicle (HOV) drivers for our national conference. HOVs will be used to transport conference attendees to a few trips to Pima Air and Space Museum, Titan Missile Museum, and Kitt Peak National Observatory on Thursday, November 12, 2009. The U of A offers free training courses which can be found here: http://risk.arizona.edu/training/index.shtml#HOV . To summarize, there are three training sessions left before our conference:
* Monday, October 5, 2009, from 1:00 p.m. to 4:00 p.m. in USA room A104
* Wednesday, October 21, 2009, from 1:00 p.m. to 4:00 p.m. in USA room A104
* Tuesday, November 3, 2009, from 1:00 p.m. to 4:00 p.m. in USA room A104
NOTE: The USA Building is located about 2 miles west of campus! After the training session, you are required to spend 30 minutes on a Friday for a "Driving Test." If you are interested in signing up, you can sign up through Sara Thomas form at sthomas@email.arizona.edu . Please let me know if you are planning on taking the course.
- - - UASEDS Kitt Peak National Observatory Trip - - -
On Saturday, October 10th, UASEDS will be taking a trip to Kitt Peak National Observatory. We will plan to meet in the SEDS Office at 10 am, leaving shortly after. We will have a picnic lunch on the top of the mountain (bring your own lunch - chips, cookies, and drinks will be provided by SEDS). We will hopefully be receiving a special tour of the 90" telescope. This trip will be free for all dues paying members and cost $5 for non-dues paying members. I expect that we will be back by 4 pm. If you drive your own vehicle, you will be reimbursed for gas money. If you have not already let either Kevin or me know, please send me an email if you plan to attend, letting me know if you can drive.

- - - Flandrau Science Center Volunteering - - -
If you are interested in becoming a volunteer for Flandrau Science Center, please let me know. We are going to try and arrange a large SEDS-member training. Several UASEDS members are already regular volunteers, operating the observatory telescope and helping out at special events. Although the planetarium is closed, there are still several different opportunities for volunteers (Read: http://www.gotuasciencecenter.org/contact/volunteering/volunteer-opportunities/ ). Aside from emailing me, please also fill out the volunteer application here: http://www.gotuasciencecenter.org/contact/volunteering/online-volunteer-form/
Let me know if you have any questions.
- - - UASEDS T-Shirts - - -
We will be re-ordering UASEDS T-shirts for members. The shirts are black with the red, white, and blue UASEDS logo on the front with "Students for the Exploration and Development of Space" spelled out underneath. If you are interested in purchasing a shirt, please email me and let me know what size you will need. We are charging $10 for each shirt (which is pretty much at-cost). We will order the shirts next Wednesday, October 7th and you must pay before we place the order.
If you are not sure of what size to order, we will bring various sizes to the next general meeting.
