Planetarium Visit

Just a reminder of the upcoming planetarium visit at Landmark Park in Dothan on January 21 at 10 am. Anyone who wishes to caravan to Landmark from Troy please meet at First Baptist FLC building/parking lot no later than 8:15 am. Be ready to leave by 8:30 am.
There are some "housekeeping" that needs to be taken care of before leaving or as soon as we arrive at the park. The director prefers we present one check for payment on arrival Friday. Please pay me by check or correct cash on Friday morning. The following are the fees:

student $2.50
parent/chaperon $1.25

*Note: "Students" are anyone FOUR years and older that can participate in the
program.

Each program can accommodate a maximum of 45 students and adults combined. If we have more than that number, we will need to divide the group. Program length is about 45 minutes.
Please try to confirm with me if your family will be attending and the number of "students"and adults that will be viewing the program as well as children under FOUR you will have. I will sit with the children that are not old enough to attend the program, but I will need a gracious volunteer to watch over my two during the program. We have 2 options for those under 4. We can take them to the playground outside or keep them in the Interpretive Area of the planetarium. We can decide on that once we see the forecast for the day. If we do keep them inside, please bring any entertainment for them that would be helpful to occupy them for the length of the program. Depending on how many under 4 kids there are, I may need another mom to help with that task.
The address is 430 Landmark Drive, Dothan, AL 36303. Driving from Troy take 231 South to Dothan. Make a LEFT onto Westgate Parkway traveling until it dead ends into 431. Turn LEFT onto 431. The park is approximately 1.5 miles on LEFT. Currently, there is construction at the entrance so there may not be a sign marking the park entrance. Below is a map if the link works.

The phone number for the park is 334-794-3452. Dana Peters is the Education Director. Our group is scheduled as the "Troy Homeschool Co-op".
Someone will meet us in the parking lot to take us to the facility Friday morning. We are supposed to wear name tags according to the Teacher Fact Sheet and I will take care of that for you once I have confirmation from you of your attendance. Of course, we are expected to be on our best behavior - not talking while the Educator is speaking or during questions asked by students, being courteous to our fellow students by not partaking in disruptive behavior. Cameras are welcome, however, no food, gum, or other snacks are not permitted during the program. Please prepare you children of the park's expectations.
The park does encourage us to visit other areas and as it will be close to lunch time for most of us, I am open to picnicking with any other family interested in doing so. The picnic area is located outside next to the playground. It is covered, but depending on temperature will determine if we picnic.
If you have any questions or concerns and to register you family, please email me at staceyandblake@yahoo.com. I look forward to our next adventure at Landmark Park!
