-UPDATED- Meeting Programming - The latest meeting program schedule is as follows

February - "2012 Astronomy Events" by Phil Hoyle
March - TBD

John Waechter would like some program suggestions. He'd love even more for some volunteers to give programs. It is perfectly acceptable, by the way to string several short programs together to get the equivalent of a longer one. If you have an idea contact John via email or at a meeting.
