2003 Adult Speaker Program in review

This year's Table Mountain Star Party was a great success. I felt very excited about the diversity of subjects that I was able to obtain with the large variety of speakers that attended this year's event. I would like to once again thank all the individuals that were willing to take time out of their schedules and come up to Table Mountain and share their knowledge and experiences with us. It is people like them that help make this Star Party the success that it is.

I need to give a special "thank you" to all the attendees that came in out of the sun in the middle of the afternoons and joined us in the speakers tent, especially during the presentations that included video projections and required the tent be closed up for darkness. Next year I'll see what we can do about some "cool" presentations.
