Join us for our Quarterly Potluck on Saturday, March 21st, 2026 at 5:30 p.m.
Ok...so don't bring sidewalk beans, but...Come for the food, stay for the stars! Join us at 5:30 p.m. on Saturday, March 21st, 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.
Our potlucks are only as good as we make them. And 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 in the Charlie Elliott Astronomy Image of the Month Gallery!
