A
Special Benefit for New SFAA Members
The SFAA is pleased to announce that Scope City
(San Francisco's only telescope and binocular retailer) has offered, as a special benefit for
new SFAA club members, a $25 credit toward the purchase of any telescope or binoculars in the
store. |
Simply bring your membership receipt to the store
and ask to speak with Sam. This offer is valid for new members only, and your membership receipt
must indicate this fact.
We encourage you to take advantage of this offer. Pick up some
observing guides, a new eyepiece, or perhaps a new telescope! Scope City is well-stocked with a wide
variety of products, including Celestron, Meade, Parks, Televue, Lumicon and other major brands.
The people who work there are friendly and serious about astronomy, and have their own telescopes.
