This one is lengthy, but with a little something for everyone: Two travelogues, our president's annual report, our treasurer's annual report, an update on the observatory ramp fix, celebrations of the Moon, Aurora, the Zodiacal light, the Milky Way, dark skies, Artemis II, and teaching science to kids. Heck, there's even a poem.
