NCRAL 2024
Green Bay, WI: Neville Public Museum Astronomical Society
From Northern Lights Newsletter Winter 2023:
NCRAL Members,
We are in the process of gathering the speakers’ bios for NCRAL 2024. We are planning on getting registration up
in late January. People can currently register for rooms at the Kress Inn, located in DePere, Wisconsin. Mention the
NCRAL Convention when you do so. Room rates are $104.00 per night. The phone number is (920) 403-5100. Rooms
include a nice continental breakfast in the mornings. The convention will be held at the Bemis Center located on
the St. Norbert’s College Campus right across the street from the hotel. Friday night will include a Swap and Sell
meet in the Bemis Center. Also, a display area will be for anything unusual in astronomical equipment, books or
other items that may be of interest. I will be bringing some unusual telescopes, and other rare items of interest for
example. The cost of the convention will be set at $120.00 per person which will include the banquet dinner. I’ll
keep you posted as things get finalized.
