Banana pudding...wink, wink, nudge, nudge! Join us at 5:30 p.m. on Saturday, September 12th, 2026, at the Charlie Elliott Wildlife Center Campbell Aquatics Building for our quarterly potluck! If you’ve already been to one of our potlucks, you’re probably already looking forward to the good food and company that these events have become known for. Please note that besides the usual comfort foods like banana pudding, mac & cheese, barbecue, and so forth, we’ll also need help with set-up and clean-up.
Our potlucks are only as good as we make them. While it’s not required, it’s a good idea to know who’s bringing what, so please click on the link below to sign up and help out. If you can't bring something, bring yourself. We always need help with setup and clean up!
Charlie Elliott Astronomy is a welcoming group of observers and imagers from all walks of life. Check out some of the images from our members and friends from 2025 and 2026 in the Charlie Elliott Astronomy Image of the Month Gallery!
