As I type this we’re at the meeting site ready to go but our Zoom organizer (which we do not control) has yet to start our meeting. My apologies for the ongoing technical delay, but we have a quorum and we’re going to get started in-person. If the Zoom meeting does get started you’ll join us in progress. Again, my apologies.

The annual business meeting and election of officers for the Clear Lake Area National Space Society & Moon Society chapter will be on Tuesday, October 18th in the conference room of the Bay Area Community Center in Clear Lake Park at 6 pm. The address is 5002 NASA Road 1; Seabrook, Texas. The Community Center is north of NASA 1, away from the lake; enter through the side door adjacent to the parking lot as the main entrance may be locked after 5:00 p.m. There is also a Zoom option for remote attendees; see info at bottom.

Election of Chapter Officers:

The annual election of Chapter officers and directors will be held at this meeting. Positions up for election are:

• Chapter President – Currently held by Eric Bowen.

• Chapter Secretary – Currently vacant.
• Director, Position 1 – Currently held by Marianne Dyson.
• Director, Position 2 – Currently held by Keith Dauzat.

To be eligible for all officer positions and Director Position 1 a candidate must be, or must be willing to become, an active member in BOTH the National Space Society and The Moon Society. A candidate for Director Position 2 must be an active member of the National Space Society. A candidate for Director Position 3 must be an active member of The Moon Society.

Nominations will be accepted from the floor before the election is held. The new officers will take their positions as of January 1st. (Positions currently vacant will be filled immediately upon election.)

Our next get-together as a chapter will be our Movie Night at the home of Anita Gale on Saturday, November 19th beginning at 3 p.m. In December we’ll be resuming our chapter Christmas party on Saturday, December 17th, also at Anita’s. Meeting dates for 2023 will be announced after the first of the year but at this time we are not planning a January meeting; our first meeting of the year is normally held in February.  Meeting documents are available below.
