Town Meeting at the AAS (1Dec93)
(from KPNO, NOAO Newsletter No. 36, 1 December 1993)

The Staff and Directors of the Kitt Peak National Observatory and the
National Optical Astronomy Observatories invite the community we serve
to attend a Town Meeting on Wednesday, 12 January 1994, from 12:30-2:00
at the 183rd meeting of the American Astronomical Society in
Washington, DC. During the past year, KPNO has initiated several new or
experimental programs to serve better the needs of the astronomical
community. These include new modes of observing with our queue
scheduling experiment, data archiving via our "save the bits"
experiment, and a renewed commitment to improving the quality of images
at Kitt Peak telescopes. At the Town Meeting, we would like to discuss
aspects of these new programs, as well as the direction of our
instrumentation effort and the broader concern of the role of KPNO in
US astronomy, and to listen to the views of both users and non-users of
our facilities on these various issues. The Town Meeting is open to
all, and we urge all who attend the AAS meeting to share their thoughts
and concerns with us.

Caty Pilachowski, Todd Boroson, George Jacoby
