April 2026

As I begin to write this message, I can’t help but think how quickly the last four years have passed. It has been my honor to serve as your President; I have enjoyed every minute of it. 

I will remain involved, supporting the new leadership team and their endeavors. I plan to continue my involvement with Skyscrapers’ outreach activities. I hope to resume participation in our weekly open nights. I am not much of an observer, but I enjoy interacting with people. I would also like to work on developing some astronomical activities focused on our members. If you have any ideas, please send them my way.

Right now, I am preparing a telescope to deliver to the George Hail Free Library in Warren. This will be the seventh library to receive a telescope from the members of Skyscrapers. Our target is to donate at least one telescope each year to a local library and to support them with astronomy programs and events. If you would like to get involved with the Library Telescope Program, just let me know. It’s fun and rewarding!

In closing, I would like to thank the entire membership for your support and encouragement. It has been a pleasure to work with each and every one of you. Thank you for the opportunity.

Godspeed,
Linda
