Winter Solstice Celebration and Short Meeting

Sacramento Area Astrologers continue to constellate at light speed! At our second meeting on Nov. 21, 2010, we decided to become a chapter of the National Council on Geocosmic Research (NCGR). This will keep the new board members busy in early 2011. Serving as the leadership team are:
Joyce Mason …………. President (and some Marketing)
Linda Byrd ………………………………. Vice-President
Barbara Ybarra ………….…………………….  Treasurer
Larry Landis …………………  Back-Up/Co-Treasurer #1
Betty O’Hara ……………………..Back-Up Treasurer #2
Wayne Moody …………………………………  Secretary
Sara Fisk ……………………Graphics and Blog Design
Chris Taylor ……………………………………………… Marketing, Blog Manager
To fund our activities, starting at the December meeting, dues of $5 per meeting will be collected. This is above and beyond the $55 annual fee for NCGR membership. Joining NCGR is optional. Our meetings will remain open to the public, but a higher meeting and special event fees will be charged to non-members in 2011.
We approved three speakers for 2011, starting with Linea Van Horn’s presentation on The Galactic Embrace, scheduled for January 9. Alison Chester-Lambert will visit us in May from the UK to discuss the dwarf planets such as Sedna. Another UK astrologer, Sue Tompkins, will present in September. Our members will decide which of her many topics of interest we’ll request for her visit to Sacramento.
All are welcome to attend the Winter Solstice short meeting and celebration, even if it’s your first time at SAA. This is a “getting to know you” meeting above all. We’ve been too busy getting organized to mingle much, so come share appetizers and discover your local star tribe at our next meeting:
