MSRAL-Convention is June 1-3, 2012
The 2012 Mid-States convention will be hosted by the Astronomical Society of Kansas City and of course will be held in Kansas City. We’ve selected the University of Missouri in midtown for the location. The dates have been chosen. We hope you can come visit us on Friday, the 1st of June thru Sunday, the 3rd.
We’re working on the traditional Star B-Que Friday evening and a planetarium program at Science City/Union Station. If you’ve never seen Union Station here in Kansas City this will provide you the perfect opportunity to view this magnificent structure. Weather permitting we’ll view the heavens through the 16 inch Newtonian reflector at the Warkoczewski observatory on the roof at UMKC both Friday and Saturday nights.
Speakers will dominate the day on Saturday and we plan to bring some vendors in. The banquet will be held on Saturday evening. We also plan a few workshops for Sunday morning. Bring the family. There's nothing like a stroll through the Country Club Plaza in early June.
This is all I can tell you right now. We’re still nailing down the details.
Please pass this information along to MSRAL astronomers and organizations to help us get the word out.
Thank you for your assistance and we hope to see you here in Kansas City this June.
