The Solar Eclipse Patch will be a collectors item and should be easy to obtain.  It will provide incentive for our youth to do some research and learn a little about the event.  Mr. Veith will be setting up a telescope at the Masonic Lodge parking lot on the 21st, to help provide some structure.  Mr. Veith is a member of the River Bend Astronomy Club.  He is a wealth of knowledge regarding the skies.
