Happy New Year to All. I am looking forward to representing our society this year as your new 2024 Society President. With a new year we begin a new chapter into the VCAS, and I am looking forward to re-energizing our society into the future.
Moorpark College adjunct professor Harold "Hal" Jandorf spent his career showing students and others the importance of looking skyward.
Some VCAS members traveled to the Chuchupate ranger station to observe the peak of the Perseid meteor shower on Aug 12.
