    THE MINNESOTA ASTRONOMICAL SOCIETY IS ORGANIZED EXCLUSIVELY FOR CHARITABLE, EDUCATIONAL, AND SCIENTIFIC PURPOSES. THE MAS ALSO ESTABLISHES AND MAINTAINS OBSERVATIONAL AND INFORMATION FACILITIES FOR THE BENEFIT OF THE MEMBERSHIP AND THE COMMUNITY. IN 2020, DUE TO THE RESTRICTIONS OF THE COVID 19 PANDEMIC, OUR OUTREACH TO THE COMMUNITY WAS EXTREMELY LIMITED. IN ADDITION TO OUR MONTHLY ZOOM MEETINGS, WHICH WERE OPEN TO THE PUBLIC, THE SOCIETY DID MANAGE TO HOLD A LIMITED NUMBER OF CLEAR SKY EVENTS WHICH INCLUDED FALL ASTRONOMY DAY AND THE CAMPING WITH THE STARS WEEKEND. THESE EVENTS WERE BY RESERVATION ONLY TO CONTROL ATTENDANCE AND MANAGE COVID PROTOCOLS SO THERE WERE A LIMITED NUMBER OF ATTENDEES FOR EACH EVENT.
