On Thursday, March 5, the San Juan Stargazers will hold its regular monthly educational meeting.
The meeting will start at 6 p.m. with our social hour for visiting with friends and sharing delicious snacks, which you are encouraged to contribute to. We have a few members who don’t make it home for dinner before the meeting, so we try to reward their diligence.
We gather at the Community United Methodist Church at 434 Lewis St. Please use the convenient parking lot and the side door that leads into the kitchen and then fellowship hall. We keep the front doors to the church sanctuary locked.
At 7 p.m. we will begin our educational program, which this month will be a presentation from a new Great Courses series called “Great Heroes and Discoveries of Astronomy” with Dr. Emily Levesque.
Levesque is a graduate of the Massachusetts Institute of Technology and an award-winning associate professor at the University of Washington.
We will be continuing our study of “Harvard Heroines Show Us the Stars.”

Future meetings
We will be again meeting the first Thursday of each month with an educational program.
