The San Mateo County Astronomical Society will be holding a General Meeting at 7pm and lecture at 8pm at CSM. All are welcomed. The General Meeting will be in the Science Building #36, in the Integrated Science Center Room, room 110, where we'll socialize for a bit with sodas and pizza and then share some information about the Society. Then we'll move into the Planetarium at 8pm for a presentation. Presenters change monthly. We request RSVPs if you'd like to attend to be sure there's plenty of food for everyone.
