     What is your organization doing to celebrate the eclipse? Are you located in the path of totality? If so, what are you planning?

    We've actually been talking about this a lot at our place too, and I'm in the same boat wondering what others are planning. I also have the same question because it feels like one of those rare events where you could do something really memorable, but it depends so much on whether you're in the path of totality or not. We're considering something simple like a small gathering or watch setup, but nothing's finalized yet. In a way, I’ve been thinking about how to make the experience more engaging almost like using a Morse code audio translator to turn raw signals into something meaningful and interactive. It'd be really interesting to hear what other organizations are doing whether it's internal events, client engagement ideas, or even just team activities around it. I'm especially curious if anyone has creative ways of turning it into a meaningful experience rather than just a quick look at the sky.

    I have these great community solar viewers from when we were in the path of totality in 2024. Would anyone be interested in purchasing them? That would include picking them up in Bloomington, Indiana (I would drive up to 45 minutes to meet you), or you would have to add shipping.  I think we saved all 3. 

    I also have a pair of giant solar glasses that we used for our Museum icon.
