HI EVERY ONE,

I'M PLEASED TO BE A MEMBER OF THE METEOROBS MAILING LIST, I HAVE BEEN =
FOR AROUND 3 YEARS AND STILL IN THE IMO MAILING LIST, BUT METEOROBS IS =
SOMETHING DIFFERENT, SINCE I CAN HEAR THE REACTION OF THE PEOPLE AND =
THEIR NEEDS WHICH IS ALSO HELPFUL TO ME , THE METEOR OBSERVING =
COMMITTEE, WHICH I'M THE  HEAD OF IT, AND TO THE JORDANIAN ASTRONOMICAL =
SOCIETY (JAS).

JAS, IS LIKE A MINARET IN THE ARAB WORLD, IT SHINES THE ASTRONOMICAL =
SCIENCE IN JORDAN AND OTHER ARAB COUNTRIES. AND DUE TO OUR EFFORTS, THE =
ARAB UNION FOR ASTRONOMY AND SPACE SCIENCES HAS BEEN RECENTLY =
ESTABLISHED.

ALL OF US IN JAS ARE VOLUNTEERS, OUR FINANCE IS VERY LIMITED . BUT AND =
ALTHOUGH OF THAT, WE ARE THE MOST ACTIVE SOCIETY IN JORDAN AND THE ARAB =
COUNTRIES.

WE ARE NOW PREPARING FOR THE 22 ASTRONOMICAL CAMP, WHICH WILL BE HELD IN =
THE DISSERT TO OBSERVE THE DRACONID METEOR STORM ( HOPEFULLY)., WE WILL =
MOSTLY CAMP FROM 7 - 9 / OCT. / 1998. FOR THIS REASON.

ALSO, WE WILL BE PREPARING FOR THE FAMOUS LEONIDS IN NOVEMBER.

HOPE TO HEAR FROM YOU ALL SOON.

BEST REGARDS.

ENG. KHALED M. TELL
METEOR OBSERVING COMMITTEE
JORDANIAN ASTRONOMICAL SOCIETY.
