MEMBERSHIP INFO

Meetings & Activities
The Chicago Astronomical Society (CAS) holds monthly meetings and programs on the second Friday of the month at Adler Planetarium unless otherwise stated. Meetings start at 7:00 PM. Feel free to attend our meetings.
 

Everyone, member or not, is welcome to attend our meetings.  We appreciate your interest.  We do, however, encourage you to become a member. The dues are reasonably small and essential to our Society's survival.  Our officers participate as volunteers , but there are many financial costs involved in organizing events and scheduling our marvelous speakers.   BECOME A MEMBER!   SUPPORT THE CAS!  THANK YOU!

Board meetings are held the Third Friday of each month (except when a holiday or special circumstances interfere); they are held at Triton College in River Grove (at the Cernan Earth and Space Center).We conduct public observing sessions at a number of sites.

The CAS annually hosts the Astrofest star party in September.

Elected Board
Elections are held every June. CAS officers elected are: President, Vice-President, Secretary, Treasurer, Directors-at-Large, and Observatory Director.

If you want more information or have questions, please e-mail us. We will try to respond as soon as possible (please be patient; there are delays occasionally).
