RCA Sister Clubs

The Rose City Astronomers club is working to establish relationships with other astronomy clubs around the world.

Sister club relationships are an important part of our club’s activities. They are established with active and organized astronomy clubs with whom RCA has a history of contact, exchange and/or personal relationships with members that motivates members of both clubs to commit to a moderate level of exchange necessary to continue and strengthen the arrangement.

We look forward to these relationships. We believe they will give our members opportunities to learn the night skies the world over and to meet other passionate amateur observers and develop lasting friendships. We expect these relationships to grow and mature over time, and as they do, our knowledge of Earth and Sky will continue to expand.

Our first Sister Club to join with us is the GAMA (Grupo de Astronomos Mendocinos Aficionados) club located in Mendoza, Argentina.

In September of 2006 a group of 19 RCA members went to Argentina and were treated to a great time by the GAMA group. Three members of GAMA came to Oregon for ALCON 2007 and OSP in August of 2007. Read about their adventures here
