[SJAA-announce] Fw: Night Sky Network Message: Participate in a survey about amateur astronomy

[Bob & Brenda Havner]

Hello and welcome to the "Sharing the Universe" project.

Through funding from the National Science Foundation, the Astronomical 
Society of the Pacific (ASP) and the Institute for Learning Innovation (ILI) 
are conducting a national study to better understand amateur astronomers and 
the activities and mechanisms that promote astronomy education to the 
public.

We would like to invite all amateur astronomers to share their experiences 
and perspectives on club membership, astronomy activities, and engaging the 
public in astronomy learning. Your thoughts are very important to us, and we 
hope you will take the time to share them through this survey.

The survey will take approximately 15 minutes to complete. All of your 
responses will remain confidential. Please submit the survey by the end of 
day Wednesday, September 26, 2007. [Note that you may receive this survey 
from multiple sources, such as list-servs, bulletin boards, etc. Please take 
the survey only once.]

By completing this survey, you are eligible to enter into a drawing for one 
of five $50 gift certificates to Sky and Telescope's online store (see 
below).

If you have any questions or concerns, please email the Astronomical Society 
of the Pacific (stu at astrosociety.org).

Thank you very much for your participation!
