The Environmental Ranger at Moraine State Park, Natalie Simon, is requesting a star
party for July 12, 2025 with a possible rain date of July 26, 2025.  It will be held
behind Lakeview beach parking lot on the North Shore from dusk to midnight.  Anyone
needing directions can call my cell at 412-216-1314.  She was also wondering if anyone
would be interested in doing a Winter star party at the park.  Attendance is usually 50 or
better so please add this event to your calendar.  There is also a need for a Power
Point Presenter as well.  Let me know if you would like to do this.  The park will supply a
screen and a projector for laptops.
For additional information, contact Bill Moutz 412-216-1314

Do: Reconnect with an old friend!
Don’t: Believe everything you think.
