Prime Focus looking for a new editor

   We have an immediate and pressing need for a new
Prime Focus editor. Alane will be able to complete the next two editions, however, a new editor is needed before July. If you have questions about this TVS job, or you would simply like to volunteer, contact Chuck Grant at charleswgrant home.net.

Our Easter (nest) eggs

   At the March 12 planning meeting, treasurer Mike Anderson reported our financial standing as follows.

   Checking    $1,987.15
   CD #1         $3,739.47 matures 5/17/01
   CD #2         $2,883.56 matures 4/6/01
   CD #3  $2,309.41 matures 5/27/01

TVS received two generous donations in early March. We thank past president and life member, Rich Green and his wife Barbara for their donation. The club also benefited from the great generosity of a member who paid the month's
Prime Focus printing expenses. At press time, this donation was believed to be an anonymous one. If that is incorrect, we will publicly thank this terrific member at the April general meeting and in the May newsletter. CD #2 holds the club's dark sky site key deposits against claim by members who surrender keys.

Tri Valley Stargazers holds this space  in anticipation of a new production sponsor. Do you work for a firm that would be willing to support amateur astronomy in the public interest?
