Our October meeting each year represents the time that we elect our leadership for the following year. This year we had an uncontested ballot that was approved by the membership at our monthly meeting.
The elected Executive Committee for the upcoming year is:
Jesse Nunez - President
Scott Stevens - Vice President
Bill Linton - Treasurer
Tim Stevenson - Secretary
David Quattlebaum - Member at Large (Immediate Past President)
Mark Stanford - Member at Large
Kevin Velasquez - Member at Large
Maggie Connelly - RMSC Representative
Membership Dues Scheduled to Change:
Additionally, after reviewing the budget for the upcoming year the membership voted to accept the board recommendation to change our yearly membership fee from $25/year to $45/year. The updated fee structure will go into effect with the new year (Jan 1, 2026)
Solar Scope Fund Goals Met:
Great News! Our equipment fund goals have been met for our club purchase of a solar scope rig. This rig will be used primarily for daytime outreach events such as school presentations. Over the years our members have faithfully volunteered at local schools to present content about astronomy. The real challenge is that most of those events are during the day. the addition of a Solar Scope will enable a more hands on experience for daytime presentations! Thank you all for your generosity!
