Hi Stephen
I have spent the last two years learning Spanish and just done an outreach event at the local high school in a new language [for me] and all went very well. Count me in as I shall arrange a viewing event in the local town over here in southern Spain.

Andy

Re: Announcing International SUNday 2014!!
Forrest, Thank you for the update you sent me regarding your club's outrageous plans to participate in International SUN-day! What a great group of volunteers you have! I'm overwhelmed at all the hard work your group will be doing over the next few weeks! Thank you for your efforts!ForrestLockhart wrote:Stephen,
Our community observatory is planning to host a solar open house on Solar SUNday, June 22nd. Our Venus Transit open house hosted over 900 guests, proving that the public shares our fascination with the Sun. We'll have about a dozen Ha scopes from 40mm PST's to 90mm Coronado's, plus several white light refractors in the 80-100mm range.
We'll also be hosting solar presentations on our nearby college campus. Don't know the exact presentation program yet, but we still have time to put that together. We just formed a group to develop an advertising plan for the event and have been getting excellent response from our Observatory Docent team. This will be a blast!
Your planned event has really built a fire under our observatory volunteers. Since the observatory is self-supporting, we can use as many solar glasses as you can make available.
Forrest

Here are the plans Forrest sent me: "Plans to celebrate Solar SUNday have really resonated with the community
here in El Dorado County. We wanted to get something out to the schools
before summer break, so a simple half-sheet monochrome flyer went out to
each teacher. Response was very encouraging. The School Board gave us an
area in their booth at the County Fair, which is held only a week prior to
the event. Somehow two TV news groups heard about our plans and intend to
send crews up to the observatory to cover the goings-on. Considering
previous public response to astro things up here, we've had to go back to
the drawing board to beef up Docent staffing and borrow as many solar
scopes as we can find. Our restrooms at the observatory may not be adequate
to serve the crowd, so the adjacent community college has been asked to
open a class building so their facilities can take up the slack. Two weeks
from the event & we're excited with how things are fitting together.
An FYI is that the local INTEL facility just asked us to take part in their
annual Kids to Work day. Nearly 3,000 kids, plus parents normally attend
this event. The event takes place on....June 24th. :-( Two days after
Solar SUNday! INTEL agreed to place our scopes just outside the main
science exhibit hall, so we would be visited by all who pass through the
exhibits. After some intense discussion our Observatory solar team decided
to go for broke and agree to set up an 8-scope solar observing station for
the event. So far, all of our team has volunteered to work the 6 hour
party. I think we'll be pretty busy around here in a couple of weeks.
Forrest Lockhart"
