Wanted -- See the poster on page 5
TVS is looking for a few good astronomers! In particular, your club needs help with the newsletter (also see the following club note), archivist/historian tasks, and coordination of a fun and introductory program for new members.
The board hopes that one of you out there is interested in researching and compiling the history of TVS. We have boxes of old newsletters, press clippings, and planning meeting minutes, all of which contain historical nuggets about the club. Any data miners out there? Our proposed "newbie program" also needs a champion. Newcomers to amateur astronomy learn faster and stay involved longer when they have mentors to explain the more arcane aspects of this hobby. So, we are prepared to offer the glorified title of Master Mentor to the member willing to coordinate this effort.
If either of these volunteer positions appeals to you, act now! Contact club president Dave Anderson at 510/661-4249, or send an e-mail to davidand@home.com. Of course, you can always publically proclaim your willingness to serve at the general meeting on June 16.

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?
