Update:  Campout is Nov. 6-8 at Mohawk group camp, Lake Cachuma.  Please notify Refreshment Coordinators, Martin and Janet, if you will be there for Saturday evening potluck dinner.

Chuck & all,
This would be a good topic to put into the SBAU Forum to avoid crossing emails.  I hope everyone is registered there?  Nov 6-8 would be nice for the dark sky, except for messing with the 1st Friday general meeting consistency.  Oh, well, cannot win on all fronts, so I would be good for moving the General Meeting date to Friday, Nov 13, if that works for Jerry.  Should be cooler weather in November; maybe the no-see-ums biting bugs will be hibernating by then.
