ASP
2012 Spring Appeal |
 |
At the start of our new fiscal year, we are grateful for your support and very excited to redouble efforts to engage new generations in astronomy — nurturing especially those with limited access to programs and services that can inspire a lifetime of science understanding and achievement.
|
The stakes could not be higher as schools and government institutions struggle with unprecedented budget shortfalls and unprecedented demands to ensure the scientific curiosity and science literacy of tomorrow’s business, technology and academic leaders. This is where the ASP comes in. This is where you come in.
Together we are making an impact, and making a difference!

The ASP Receives a Challenge Grant for Upgrading its Information Technology Systems |
|
Thank you for Joining the IT Challenge!
With your generous support,we have made our goal.
Your support strengthens the
Astronomical Society of the Pacific (ASP).
As you may recall a generous supporter gave a
Challenge Grant to upgrade the IT infrastructure within ASP.
And this means every dollar you gave
to help ASP become more efficient
was matched dollar for dollar.
This special campaign will now help
ASP's operations become more effective.
The funds raised will now be used to replace
aging computers and improve
the efficiency of administrative operations.
The campaign goal was $55,000.
Thank you, once again, for your
generous donation to this important project! |

"The
ASP was a pioneer in public outreach programs. Today, the
entire astronomical community embraces such efforts as an
increasingly important means to foster awareness of scientific
progress and appreciation of the excitement of contemporary
research. Any contribution today can have a larger-than-life
impact on our society's educational efforts."
-Leif J. Robinson, Editor Emeritus, Sky & Telescope |
