A few weeks ago, I helped out with the star party at the Arboretum, and I created a flyer to hand out to give people some interesting and helpful website to check out if they got interested in astronomy. At tonight's meeting it seems that there are a lot of new members that can use this info too.
Apparently, I didn't actually save the file after I printed the original out, so I'll just transcribe the info here.
