Dark Skies Salem

On Thursday January 29th Salemanders interested in the night sky gathered at Ike Box for an inaugural meeting of Dark Skies Salem. The event planners collected 11 email addresses to begin to organize regular meetings. Folks shared why they were attending and reasoning ranged from annoyed neighbors to wildlife conservation to social justice. We agreed on some sweeping goals including but not limited to trying for another International Dark Sky Week proclamation from the City (April 13-20th), table at a local environmental event, and work towards a star party. 

The next Dark Sky Salem gathering is February 26th at 5:30pm once again at the Ike Box. We hope to see you there!
