2019 President’s Annual Address

By Greg Barker

Another year has passed, our 82nd.  We’ve been fairly busy. We’ve had more outreach events this year than in years past, in spite of the fact that we had some weather cancelations. We’ve had more members (86), and more attending CSP (97), than in our most recent history.  It has been a year of more…more Girl Scout badging events (3), and more libraries taking on loaner scopes!

We also had a couple of milestones this year, the twenty-fifth year for the annual Madison Moonlight Walk and the twenty-third year for our Young’s Park public outreach events.

2020 is looking like we could break some of our 2019 records.  2020 brings CSP30, the thirtieth year of our star party, and even more groups are starting to reserve event dates, so it’s going to be another busy year.

I want to thank everyone who helped to make all our events successful throughout the year possible.

Happy New Year, I am looking forward to seeing everyone at the Winter Solstice party on Saturday January 11th.
