Since 1918 the MVAS has been the face of amateur astronomy in the Miami Valley dedicated to educating the public about science of astronomy and fostering the growth of amateur astronomy and fellowship. To that end, the non-profit MVAS, annually engages thousands of individuals through its monthly meetings, stargazes, and outreach programs. The Society also operates the John Bryan Observatory (JBO) located at John Bryan State Park.
Next General Meeting
Unless otherwise posted, the MVAS holds General Meetings starting at 7:00 PM on the second Friday of each month at the VFW Post #3283, 5074 Nebraska Ave., Huber Heights, Ohio. These meetings usually include 30-45 minutes of business and discussions, followed by a brief social period and a 30 to 45-minute program.
Note that the VFW has a long driveway and sits behind the American Legion Post 200 on Nebraska Avenue. Please turn into the driveway with the VFW sign and follow back to the VFW building. If you use Google Maps (or similar software) to guide you to the VFW, make sure that the directions include turning onto Nebraska Ave. It has come to our attention that such web-enabled software has instructed some people to park on Bellefontaine Rd or Leeper St and walk across private property to reach the VFW. We do not recommend this.
CANCELED: FRIDAY’S JANUARY GENERAL MEETING AT THE VFW 3283 – HUBER HEIGHTS
The January MVAS General Meeting scheduled for Friday, January 10th at 7:00 PM at the VFW 3282 in Huber Heights has been canceled due to the forecasted snowstorm arriving Friday afternoon. The NWS is forecasting 2 to 3 inches of snow to fall in short order from late afternoon thru the rush/dinner hour to our meeting time. The safety of our members and guests is paramount when considering the amount of snow already on the ground as well as potentially hazardous road conditions. We will plan to meet up again on Friday, February 14th. Hoping everyone stays warm and safe!
