Thank you for being a part of The Royal Astronomical Society of Canada - Kingston Centre, 1st Fundraising Raffle.
Without your support we would not have been able to raise enough funds to assist in our Astronomy Outreach activities... and we really really appreciate it!

On Saturday 2019 June 8th at 9pm in the Queen's University Ellis Hall Auditorium, at the start of the Observatory Open House, the Beginners Observing Kit Raffle Winner was drawn from all of the tickets sold.

The winner is!

Board Member volunteers needed

published by newrasckc on Wed, 05/08/2019 - 09:42

The RASC Kingston Centre governing Board of Directors is nominally 7 persons elected from the membership at the Annual General Meeting in the fall.
If there are vacancies the Board can appoint members to those vacant positions. Currently we have some vacancies that you might want to consider:
Vice President: A low impact position that entails backing up the President to run Regular meetings. This is a good starting get to know the ropes position. This does NOT commit you to becoming the President next term! We do not have a succession system in place at all.
