Did the cover catch your attention?

Notice anything different about the cover? Yes, this month's edition is also next month's and August's as well. So don't throw it away when the end of June arrives! The unusual quarterly format results from our lack of a volunteer to edit Prime Focus. We plan to reinstate the familiar format -- or perhaps a brand new one -- once a new editor is in place. For the duration, please remember that each general meeting is held at the Unitarian Universalist Church in Livermore, 1893 North Vasco Road.  In June, the barbecue will begin at 7 p.m., with preparations beginning one hour ahead, at 6 p.m. For August and September, although the meeting does not formally start until 7:30 p.m., you are invited and encouraged to attend a half-hour early for conversation.

Prime Focus
looking for a new editor

   We have an immediate and pressing need for a new
Prime Focus editor. Please see the ad for an editor on page 8. Alane can be available by phone or e-mail to "train" a new journalist. For more information, contact Chuck Grant at charleswgrant home.net or leave a message for Alane at 925/455-4139.

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?
