Skyscrapers Annual Summer Cookout
It’s that time of year, the weather has warmed and what better way to spend an afternoon than with friends enjoying food cooked on the grille. Skyscrapers Summer Cookout will be held at Seagrave Observatory on Saturday, July 9th beginning at 4pm. All members and their guests are invited to attend. The cost is only $7.50 per person ($3 for kids under 12) for all you can eat. We will be serving hamburgers, hotdogs, veggie-burgers, clam chowder, salads and desserts.
Some members have asked if it is okay to bring some additional potluck items. Well the answer is “yes”, the more the merrier! Just let me know at DeepSpaceViewer@aol.com, what you’re planning to bring so that we can coordinate our efforts. Some of you have already sent in your money for the cookout, which is greatly appreciated. If you have not already done so, please send us a check before July 6th. Our address is Skyscrapers, Inc., 47 Peeptoad Road, North Scituate, RI 02857, Attn: Members Cookout. You may also pay at the door, but please let us know that you’re planning to attend so that we know how much food we need to purchase. We’re also looking for volunteers to help set up for the cookout, starting at noon on July 9th. If you are willing to help out, please let me know. In addition to the cookout, we are planning on having a 90mm Coronado solar telescope set up to offer some spectacular views of the sun, weather permitting.
