Presentations and Downloads


Each month, the Charlie Elliott chapter presents a program.  Some of our speakers have given permission to make their presentations available on our website.   For your convenience, we've placed links to these presentations below. 

This is also the area where we will place other types of downloadable files such as astronomy programs or interesting articles from time to time.  A word of caution though, some of the files are very large, so please be patient.  Also some of the presentations require Microsoft Power Point, a Power Point viewer or Adobe Acrobat.  The most recent posts appear at the top of the list.
