June Meeting

Many of us are familiar with home-built backyard telescopes, but how many can say that they have seen a home-built backyard planetarium? Francine Jackson, our resident planetarian, and Jim Hendrickson present a tale of an adventure they took in late 2017 to the faraway North Woods of Wisconsin to visit Frank Kovac and his planetarium. Built over the course of eleven years using over $100,000 of his own funding, Frank was inspired by a childhood visit to Chicago's Adler Planetarium with his father, Frank Sr., to build his own planetarium and share the wonders of the Universe in a unique way that no one else has ever done.

We plan to have a dessert buffet prior to the program.  So start thinking about what you plan to bring.

 If you have any questions, please contact Kathy Siok kathys5@cox.net.
