We gave away a 6-inch mirror kit each day to a young person who did some grinding in our booth: The winners were Zach Berger and Julia Russell.
- Senator Leahy visits Telescope Making Museum
Senator & Mrs. Leahy in the museum 2013-Mar-29 One of the owners of the Hartness House sent us this report and photo: "Senator Leahy and his wife stayed at the Hartness House last night and we gave them a museum tour. They loved the Stellafane museum and we took some pictures there." Leahy is a United States Senator for Vermont, ranks first in seniority in the Senate and is the President Pro Tempore. He also chairs the Senate Judiciary Committee. We are honored to have him visit our amateur telescope making museum.
- The Flanders Pavilion Mortgage has been Paid Off;
Stellafane Thanks our many Donors.[2012-Nov-16] The Springfield Telescope Makers are pleased to announce the mortgage taken out to finance the construction of the Flanders Pavilion in 2005 has been fully paid off. We could not have done it without our many generous donors over the past seven years and the club is extremely thankful for your support. We believe the pavilion has markedly improved the quality of the convention - the pavilion can be darkened for daytime presentations and yet allow adequate air circulation. And no one has ever gotten wet feet in the pavilion, unlike the situation we had to deal for many years in the tent!
We had said every donation, no mater how big or how small, would help - and it did. As we near the U.S. Thanksgiving Holiday, please know that Stellafane is thankful for your long and generous support. Come celebrate our achievement at the 2013 Convention!
