Monthly informal lunch meeting at Lamberts Restaurant & Carry-Out on Lanham-Severn Road.

Please join us on the first Thursday of each month at 11:45AM. See Lamberts Web Site for directions.

Holiday dinner is tentatively set for December 13. The next regular club meeting will be held on January 21 at 5:30PM at the club.

The club facilities are behind Gate 10, just north of the motor pool on Hubble Road (formerly Soil Conservation Road). The club is still outside the main Goddard gates, but can now be reached by non-employees only from the north. Employees can go out the new North gate, turn left, and make an immediate right into the club area. Non-employees coming from the south should turn North onto Good Luck Road from Greenbelt Road, continue onto northbound Soil Conservation Road, and make a left onto Hubble Road (the old Soil Conservation Road). The club is a left turn just before the light at the North gate.

STS-125, Atlantis, the Hubble Space Telescope servicing mission, has been rescheduled for May 12th, 2009. STS-119, Discovery is targeted for February 12, 2009.
