Our Club chef and helpers will be ready to serve up chili, baked potatoes with all the fixins and cornbread.

Kathy Prince, a Sun City resident and astronomy enthusiast will join us with her telescope. There are stargazer apps you may download on your phone to use. All unnecessary light needs to be limited for stargazing so we will follow the National Park recommendations to reduce the amount of bright light and allow our eyes to adjust to the darkness. Bring a red flashlight if you have one. We will have red cellophane available to cover flashlights and cellphones.
