********************************* ANNOUNCEMENT 10-Year Anniversary Celebration of the ARC 3.5-meter Telescope We are fast approaching the 10-year anniversary of the dedication of the ARC 3.5-meter telescope. To celebrate this event, we are planning a symposium with invited and contributed lectures, plus poster papers, to highlight the many scientific accomplishments of the telescope, and an open house and tours of the observatory. These events will take place on May 27-28, 2004, at the Astronomy and Visitors Center at Sunspot and at Apache Point Observatory. Besides being nearly exactly ten years since the telescope was dedicated, these dates were chosen to dovetail with the upcoming AAS meetings in Colorado, so that participants could attend both events in one trip. This announcement is intended to provide an early alert to our user community and other friends. Further details will be forthcoming; in the meantime you may direct questions to the undersigned, or to Bruce Gillespie at APO (gillespi@apo.nmsu.edu) Rene Walterbos Chair, ARC Board of Governors rwalterb@nmsu.edu Ed Turner Director, ARC 3.5-meter telescope elt@astro.princeton.edu Kurt Anderson Site Director, APO kurt@nmsu.edu APO APO APO APO APO Apache Point Observatory 3.5m APO APO APO APO APO This is message 734 in the apo35-general archive.
