The CAA holds monthly business meetings starting at 7:00pm unless otherwise noted on the first Thursday of each month. Meetings are at either the Resource Center of St. Luke's Hospital in Cedar Rapids or, during the warmer months, at the EIOLC at Palisades-Dows Observatory. The business meetings include presentations and discussions of a variety of astronomy related subject matter that is relevant to current and upcoming events as well as discussion of club operations and business topics. Visitors who may be intersested in joining are welcome to attend.
