Do not miss the solar eclipse on April 8th. The next solar eclipse over the U.S will be in 2044. The weather forecast is 66 degrees and partly cloudy.
Let's watch the eclipse together on the grassy hill in Centennial Park. It is next to the picnic pavilions where TVIH had our summer picnic in 2023.
Bring a low folding chair or blanket to sit on, your own special glasses for viewing the eclipse, and your own drink. Bring a snack food to share with friends.
Friends and family members are welcome to join.
