We’ll be holding our next NorCal/Nevada AAPT meeting at PASCO’s factory in Roseville in late April. On the night of Friday the 22nd we’ll meet for an optional social event from 6-9, and on Saturday the 23rd we’ll have a full meeting. A big thank you to PASCO for also covering food costs for this meeting.
Given the context of school closures and conference cancellations, we have decided to cancel our upcoming meeting.
We are extending everyone’s membership status by six months. We will reach out to PASCO, hopefully they will be willing to host again in the near future.
Stay safe + health,
David Marasco – Program Chair
Save the date! We are returning to Foothill in November. Our keynote speaker will be SJSU’s Cassandra Paul. Registration is now closed, the walk-up pricing is $25. On Friday night we’ll meet for a social at one of the officers’ house in San Jose at 6. He’s cooking up a mountain of food, so bring $10 to drop in the honor jar. An RSVP link will be sent to folks who register for our meeting. At around 8 we’ll finish up dinner, and will go to Foothill’s observatory for some star-gazing.
