('') Well everyone, it's that time again, the 3rd Saturday of the month so it's time to roll up our sleeves and see if we can really make a difference at the Coleman Observatory.

Ya know, Bob spends a lot of time up at the observatory doing all sorts of work to try to make "OUR" observatory a better place for all of us to use. With help he and others dug out a hole under Cetus's Lair as he likes to call it, welded up a new pier for Cetus to rest on, poured concrete into the hole to set in the new pier, and then drywalled, finished, painted and generally made Cetus's Lair into a really nice place to do our observing.

I think we all owe Bob a vote of thanks for the care and concern he continually shows in doing all that he does for the club.

Now comes the "GUILT TRIP"

How about we all show up to let Bob know he's not the only one who cares about Coleman Observatory, and getting the things done there that we all would like to see done.

Now I know that sometimes there are schedule conflicts that can't be avoided so some of the members just won't be able to make it tomorrow. I also know that some of us would like to, but after a hard week at work we really want to just stay home and chill out for a day. I know I do. But that's not gonna get the work done that we all agreed needs to be done at Coleman.

So, how about it. Any of you that are free tomorrow between 11 AM and 3PM, please come on up and join Bob and I as we try to get Coleman into tip top shape.

Thanks for letting me go on like this, We appreciate all our members efforts, and we'll see y'all tomorrow.

Apologize for not being there, but the last two months, I had something fall on those two saturdays. But I'll be out there now, even it's freezing!
