President of the Fountain Hills International Dark Sky Center, Joe Bill, spoke at the February meeting of Four Peaks Women’s Club to the “resounding enthusiasm of its members who have whole-heartedly supported the Committee since its inception,” a press release said.

“Our small town is trying to build an observatory where our own and surrounding communities can benefit from the work that will be done in our observatory,” the press release said.
