I'm several years a member of the WAS and the current secretary. I'm also sort of in charge of leveraging the web to get our message out.
An intermediate-level amateur.
Yes.
Almost everything: its historical significance, learning about the origins and ultimate destiny of the universe, the amazing and diverse objects we observe, and the joy and beauty of being out in nature - just people, a telescope, and the universe.
It's a skilled, talented, well-informed, and unfailingly entertaining bunch of people who have a lot of information and experience to share. There's enough diversity of background and knowledge that anybody can fit right in. And the observing! There's just no experience like seeing Saturn for the first time - or giving somebody their first look at a wonderful celestial object.

I am bringing my binocular sky window that sets up on a picnic table."
