Here's the request I received: ============================================ The Girl Scouts of Utah - Scenic View (Wasatch front) Service Unit is hosting a weekend at Trefoil Ranch Girl Scout Camp April 11 & 12. (Friday and Saturday). Our theme is science and technology hoping to broaden the girl's awareness of the subjects. We would greatly appreciate assistance a Friday night Star Party. The hope is a short lecture on solar systems,stars and planets, then we will split the girls into smaller group giving them an opportunity to gaze as constellations through the naked eye, view through a telescope and any other idea you may have. We anticipate about 200 girls that we will split them into groups small enough to rotate around possibly as many as 4 activities as not to overwhelmed any one activity. Can you help. I have to confess I know next to nothing about the subject although I think it is REALLY COOL!!!!! ==================================== The location is at Trefoil GS ranch, which is the very end of South Fork Canyon Road in Provo Canyon (the road that runs South from Vivian Park, before the turnoff to Sundance (if you are heading from Provo; if you are driving down the canyon from Heber, it will be a left turn after you pass the turnoff to Sundance). The sky is normally fairly dark there, though the horizons are pretty limited in the canyon, but we will also have a first quarter moon that night. With 200 scouts I'm going to need several volunteers to help. Please reply to the list and/or call me and let me know if you can help out Friday night, April 11, either with a telescope or with the lecture(s). Thanks! /Rich - cell is 801~380~3331 ____________________________________________________________________________________ Never miss a thing. Make Yahoo your home page. http://www.yahoo.com/r/hs
