SCAS Kids Virtual Club is busy this month participating in the Citizen Science program through Globe at Night. Since the Kids Club meets during general meetings, Kids Club members attend their own sessions and oversee the SCAS Club Library. If the kids cannot attend the meeting, the parents pick up their packets, the kids do the activities at home and return the packets at the next meeting. Contact m46astro@gmail.com in advance of the meeting in order to have age-appropriate lessons available. All ages are welcome

Currently Sugar Creek Astronomical Society has one impromptu Star Party group up in Bella Vista, the original Old Timers group. They meet whenever the weather is clear for some good night viewing. SCAS has two major star parties coming up on March 5, one at Hobbs State Park and another at George Washington Carver Monument Park. More information will be given on those two star parties next week.
