I have been a space and astronomy fanatic since my childhood days. My parents are both astrologers hence the stars, the moons and the planets have been an integral part of my upbringing. I recently moved to Salt Lake Valley from Florida and I used to live in Kenya before that. I owned a telescope in Florida and did lots of sky gazing. It was and still is my favorite hobby. One of my co-workers is also a big fan and used to be a SLAS member in her childhood days, she recently suggested me and introduced me to your pristine community. Last week I borrowed a telescope of a member from my ward and I would love to share this great joy with you all. I would also love to be a member. Only concern is I live in Draper and it would be hard to commute to the observatory. Although it is not an issue, I was just throwing it out there to see if I could car-pool with someone. Anyways, please let me know more details about the community and how I could be a part of it. I would love to come visit the observatory and attend one of the community meetings before I sign up. Your feedback is valuable to me, Best Regards Sent from my iPhone
