Winter Solstice Dinner

Our winter solstice dinner was held on December 13th at the Bethany Observatory. We had an excellent turn out with both long time members and a few new members. This is a pot-luck dinner so we had plenty of tasty dishes to choose from.  Al Washburn gave his famous astronomy quiz. Chris Predom won with several others tied for second place. Even our new members learned enough this year to have some correct answers. Washburn awarded Chris his prize, a beautiful large-format book on the Cosmos. The solstice dinner and summer picnics are both great opportunities for members to gather together for casual conversation and to get to know each other better. Everyone had a great time with some great food.
