Hi Tom,

learners are very interactive, and are most interested in the
be good to get a sense of the audience needs ahead of time.  But if
you have younger people, and families, you might want to check out
the Family ASTRO activities at the ASP:

There's some very good downloadable activities on their education
webpage as well.

The star party would be great, especially if you could enlist the
local club to help.
