Subject: Petrified Forest Star Parties


Hello! I am a ranger at Petrified Forest National Park. The air in our park is 
considered Class I, giving us beautiful night skies. As you know, our night 
skies are threatened by light and particulate pollution. Many of our visitors 
are not aware of our endangered night skies. Until we can give them the 
opportunity to connect with these invaluable resources, they will remain 
unaware and thus won't take steps to preserve them here and, hopefully, at 
home. As this is the International Year of Astronomy 2009, we are hoping to 
host several star parties at the park this summer. I am contacting you in the 
hope that your group might be interested in helping us with these star parties. 
At this time, we are open to any night, from the beginning of June to the end 
of August-perhaps even into the fall. Please contact me with any interest or 
questions as soon as you can! Thank you in advance.
