By John McDonaldWe did it!
I am writing this on Sunday, November 1, 2009, the day we passed the 20,000
Galileo Moments (GMs) mark. My congratulations go out to to Sid and every
volunteer from our Center, the Centre of the Universe and NRC as well as UVic
who contributed to this achievement. When National President, David Lane was
here last month he commented that there were easy GMs and hard ones. Most of
ours were the hard earned kind. It mattered to all of us that those who stopped
at our displays, attended one of the night sky viewing events or the many
sidewalk astronomy opportunities were able to really interact and take away more
than the card or Starfinder we offered. I think we gave a good many of them a
significant peek into the wonder of the sky and we let them know how welcome
they were to join in sharing our passion for it. |
