This Week:

March 20: Prof Bormann will return to discuss going beyond our planet Earth, through our solar system and far beyond into our Galaxy, the Milky Way, and even further into the Cosmos consisting of myriades of other milky ways. This talk which will give you a feeling of the awesome beauty and grandeur of the cosmos, of the forces of never ending creation, of the "Where" we come from and will go to, about the tremendous dimensions in space and time surrounding us "one-day flies" on the little but outstandingly beautiful, precious and unique little planet Earth whom we should care for.

She will be bringing two of her own dogs for demonstration and questions will be welcomed.

April 10:  John Cole will talk about what it was like for a non-actor to get a speaking role in a major motion picture; Moneyball. He will talk about how someone goes from a member of a technical advising committee for the film to a role on the screen. He was a baseball scout for 25 years and plays the role of a scout in the film. A unique feature of the film is that scouts play the role of scouts wherever possible. A number of his baseball compatriots are in the film as well.  He will have a DVD of the film there and will  show the scene and explain how it was done. .

April 17: Mark Heyer : The annual Alto al Crimen report to the community on the status of crime in Boquete, steps you can take to protect yourself from crime, the Boquete Hot Line and Resident Database and how Alto al Crimen is supported. Newcomers to Boquete are especially encouraged to attend. Bring your questions for Q&A.
