Astronomical League Outreach Award
December 15th, 2010 | by sbieger |I am proud to say that after achieving the required number of hours and submitting the paperwork, I have qualified for and received the first and second level Outreach Award from the Astronomical League. The purpose of this particular award is to recognize the work and time put in by volunteers in reaching out to the public in what we call Astronomy Outreach.
I have participated in a few of the club events over the last several years but my main outreach activity has been the five and a half years spent as volunteer at the Fernbank Science Center Observatory in Atlanta. So, I can truly say I’ve played my part and it is wonderful to be recognized for time I’ve spent as “Tour Guide to the Cosmos”! Of course, I can also truly say, that my reward comes every time I help bring that joy to someone by sharing my passion.
Art Zorka presented the aware at the AAC Charlie Elliot Chapter meeting, November 6, 2010. Art is the club’s AL representative and has acted in this capacity for a number of years. Art is a good friend and also a very accomplished observer, having achieved a few AL awards himself. It was a joy and an honor to be presented this award by Art.
