This is the exchange I had with Mike at the AZ Sci Ctr:
==========================

Hi Richard!  I am excited that Saguaro has agreed to help out!  The answers
to your questions are below:

 

1. For the day events, all you need to bring is yourself and whatever you
would like to have displayed on your table.  If you have any displays
("exhibits") you would like to bring, we can certainly make arrangements for
space.  We would just need to know what it is, the science it is speaking
about, the manner in which it discusses the science, and how big it is.  I
hope you understand the need to have those questions answered.  They are
questions everyone, including ASC employees, have to answer.

 

2. The star parties in the evening are in the Heritage park.

 

3. For the day events, we will have tables for you guys, EVAC, ASU Center
for Meteorite Studies, Mars Space Flight Facility, and the Lowell
Observatory.  This will constitute the core group that participates every
Astronomy Day.  We will also have solar viewing.  To answer your question,
we will take as many as you would like to send.  At the least, enough to man
your table (if you want one).  However, we could also use a little help with
solar scopes.

 

4. I do not know.  I know that our marketing group got the logo.  However, I
am not sure which avenues they traveled to get them.  I will look into it
for you.

 

Thank you for your participation in our IYA celebrations.  I look forward to
our partnership in the coming year and beyond.  I will talk to you soon!

 

Mike

Mike,

At the board meeting last night, we agreed to help out as we can.  To help
us line up assistants and telescopes, can you please provide a little more
information about your scheduled events?  Particularly,

    1. Will the day-time events you mention require us to bring anything
besides ourselves?
    2. Will the evening star viewing events be on the grounds of the Science
Center or some other venue?
    3. For the day-time events, how many helpers would you need at each
event or station (if the event is a multi-display event)?
    4. Do you know whether or not the IYA logo is copyrighted? We'd like to
use it with our Logo when we produce or co-produce events during this year,
like star parties at schools, churches, scout groups, etc.

So, Steve and Chris, would you two form a committee of 2 or 3 other SAC
members and see if we can come up with (1) a display, if we want one, (2)
people to man the display and/or help out at ASC, and (3) people to help out
at the evening star parties?

 

Thanks, team!
