The Observatory at the University of Maryland at College Park (PG County) 
is also hosting a Venus transit observing event.  More details here:

Fingers crossed for clear skies!  (I'm in Europe, so I'm going to miss 
it...).

P.S. NEVER look directly at the Sun, especially with your birding optics 
(!!), without proper filters.  This is why it's best to go to one of these 
viewing parties with experienced astronomers to get the most out of this 
event.  Good luck!
