Adam Marshall asked for volunteers for this year's Vet Standdown at the EL County Fair Grounds on Sept 13-14, 2024. This event provides dental and health care on site as well as a variety of critical services for veterans.
Our speakers this week will be Chief Docent, Randy Hodges, and Docent LuAnne LePere (pictured) who will show photos of the recent solar eclipse and bring updates for us about the Observatory. Randy is a long-time astronomy enthusiast and teaches astronomy at Williams Jessop University. LuAnne 
is the daughter of long-time Rotary member, Chuck LePere. A memorial bench was donated by club members honoring Chuck. That bench is still at the Observatory. LuAnne moved back to Cameron Park with her young family in 1992 and has been a docent at the Observatory since its inception in 2006. She also volunteers at the Friends of the Library-Cameron Park Branch.
