The Amador Astronomical Society is holding a star party for all classes, their parents, and siblings at the Library Fundrasier for Pioneer Elementary School on September 11, 2009. The event "Under the Stars with Exie" starts at 6:00 PM with a BBQ Dinner, 6:30 to 7:00 PM Book Fair, 7:00 to 8:00 PM volunteers (including astronomers) will be reading childrens books, and at 8:00 PM we will have 2 children reciting astronomical poetry to kick off the Star Party. Astronomers please be at the upper soccer field for telescope setup @ 6:00 PM.
