A WORD OF CAUTION

How do you avoid damaging your retinas when viewing an eclipse? You either do not view the eclipse at all
(and that is no fun), or you use a PROPER method of blocking the Sun’s dangerous rays while you look. This
does not mean you can use sunglasses, either! Sunglasses may block out some of the bright light of the Sun,
but they will not block all the invisible UV and blue rays that will painlessly do great damage to your retinas.
You MUST use filters that block all the dangerous light – and that means ISO-certified eclipse glasses.

The viewer card attached to this page is ISO-certified allowing you to view the eclipse in safety.

Please accept this viewer as a small token of our appreciation of you as a steadfast alum and/or supporter of
the Houlton High School Alumni Association.

For additional traditional eyeglass shaped viewing glasses for family or friends, please contact www.maine-
eclipse.com. Be sure to order additional glasses well before April 8th as they are expected to sell out quickly.
While on the site you can view additional exclusive merchandise offered.

Enjoy this once in a lifetime, for many of us, opportunity as total eclipses are a rarity within the same geo-
graphic location.

Your friends,

The Board of Directors of the Houlton High School Alumni Association
