YOUR PHOTOS, REPORTS AND INPUT MAKE A DIFFERENCE!!
If you attended the Stellafane convention this year, please - please - please ?subject=2003 Convention Comment">send us your photos, reports, suggestions and comments. After the 2001 convention, we received reports and photos from only four people. You may think that your photos and experiences are not important but this is NOT the case! Photos and reports from many people will enable the 2003 convention web pages to give a much more comprehensive view of the convention. And, we need to have your points of view as to what's good and what needs work to continue to improve the convention. Thanks!

"Once Again, It's Stellafane"
The front gate is open, we roll on through
Leading this anxious train
Over the dirt road with our camping load
Once again, it's Stellafane
Our site has been chosen, our tent quickly raised
With the spot being each year the same
And when done with our labors, we greet our weekend neighbors
Once again, it's Stellafane
On the hills and slopes, spread great telescopes
Proudly awaiting those late night hours
And conversations binding on fine mirror grinding
From the Clubhouse to Tuttle Towers
We come at will, to Breezy Hill
For it's the place we wish to be
Whether veteran or new, we wait in line for the view
Of the celestial wonders to see
And even if those skies displays nothing for our eyes
Bringing clouds, fog, even rain
We will not be down, for look around
Once agin, it's Stellafane
