One brief but important part of the January meeting will be HAL's annual election. Election committee chair
Jim Johnson said recently:
"As required by HAL bylaws, a new board of directors is elected each year at the HAL general meeting in January.
The elected positions as defined in the bylaws are:
President,
First Vice President,
Second Vice President,
Treasurer,
Secretary, and
Event Coordinator.
Even though some present members are likely to stand for re-election, all Board seats are considered open in the election...The
duties for each position is provided in the HAL Bylaws."
The next Planning Meeting (for current members only) will be held on Monday, February 1st at 7PM.
Zoom information will be available via the member's log-in as soon as it is available.
Looking for member photos of the Great Conjunction of Jupiter and Saturn?
NOTE: The parks have now partially re-opened. However, HAL is still not scheduling live members-only or public events. HAL keyholders are free to call members-only impromptu observing sessions via the closed hal_impromptu email list for Carrs Mill Park or Alpha Ridge Park.
There are no restroom facilities available at either location at this time.
Due to COVID-19, the monthly Planning (board of directors) meeting, Astroschool, the HAL public meeting, and various observing events will be held "virtually" using Zoom.
Check back frequently for updates. HAL looks forward to getting back to normal as soon as prudent. We look forward to seeing everyone and again showing members of the public the wonders of the night sky. |
