A 17-page illustrated summary was given to each of the around 125 attendees and power point presentations were given by Luis Calvo - overview, Doug Moore - plant and animal life, Dan Brocious - impact of light pollution on the Whipple Observatory, Tom Purdon - what the public can do, and Tom Vezo - announcement of the Fund Raiser event to be held in Tucson on March 30. The next event will be the Pima County Design Review Committee meeting on March 15 to consider the cluster design proposal.
