Good morning everyone! I want to take this opportunity to thank everyone for all of the hard work, help, and dedication everyone puts into the IYA Astronomy Days at the Arizona Science Center. They have been very successful and spectacular! There is no way that they would be this successful without all of you. Thank you so much for all of your support! I am looking forward to the remaining seven celebrations. I truly think that we are raising awareness to the rich tradition in astronomy that Arizona has to the people of the Valley. I am including the attendance totals for each celebration. So far, 6,947 people have walked past our tables, displays, and activities. Some have been repeat guests, but most have been new. Because of the layout, though it may seem tight, every one of those nearly seven thousand people has, by design, walked past us.

Again, thank you so much for all of your help! I could not do it without all of your support, excitement, and enthusiasm! Hopefully, I will see you on June 13th when we celebrate the contributions to Astronomy by those who came long before us.
Until then, clear skies!
Mike
