SUMMARY:SOFO Young Environmentalists Society (YES!) Meeting
DESCRIPTION:The mission of SOFO’s Young Environmentalists Society\, known as YES!\, for ages 10 to 16\, is to engage young minds in developing a fuller awareness and understanding of the current state of our environment. The group works together and\, through experience-based learning\, place-based learning\, critical thinking processes\, and local activism\, develops strategies for individuals and the community that are designed to shape how we live on this planet now and in the future. The Club meets on the last Saturday of each month\, from 10AM to 11:30AM. There is bilingual support for Spanish-speaking participants. \nClub Leader: Mare Dianora\, an educator and the mother of two young sons\, is an interdisciplinary artist whose practice involves building community and exploring connections to home and place. \nThis is a free program\, thanks to the generosity of a foundation that prefers to remain anonymous\, for ages 10-16. \nThe date may change for this program. Please contact SOFO at (631) 537-9735 or info@sofo.org for up-to-the-minute information. \n  \nSign Up Here!

SUMMARY:The Science of Astro-Meteorology and Q&A with Renowned Weatherman Joe Rao
DESCRIPTION:For ages\, man has attempted to make sense of the changing aspects of the Sun\, Moon\, and their possible influence on our ever-changing weather. Can a lack of sunspots ultimately lead to a trend toward colder temperatures? Can the changing phases of the Moon and its distance from Earth lead to stormy periods? Or do the movements of the planets have any control over our climate and weather?  Can we really put any credence in the forecasts that are issued annually by such publications as the Old Farmer’s Almanac or by other so-called long-range weather experts?  The answers may surprise you! \nProgram Presenter: Joe Rao \nFor 21 years\, Joe Rao was the Chief Meteorologist and Science Editor at News 12 Westchester. He was nominated for 8 Emmy Awards and\, in 2015\, the Associated Press voted him First among weathercasters in New York State. Since 1986\, Joe has served as an associate and guest lecturer at the Hayden Planetarium. He is a Contributing Editor for Sky and Telescope magazine and writes a syndicated weekly column for the online news service\, Space.com. Joe also pens a monthly astronomy column for National History magazine and provides astronomical data for The Farmer’s Almanac. \nThis event is co-sponsored by the Hamptons Observatory and SOFO.
