Joining the Sidewalk Astronomers
Past email updates

We'd like all of you to join the Sidewalk Astronomers 

The Sidewalk Astronomers is an international organization and while there are clubs and amateurs doing sidewalk astronomy around the world, many of them are not "officially" members of the Sidewalk Astronomers.
 
We publish a newsletter that focuses on telescope building, personal experiences on the sidewalk, or any personal interest/astronomy/cultural articles members submit. At this time, we only send the newsletter in the post but we are working on making it available on the website or in electronic form.
 
We also have telescope donation programs and are creating several new programs for members focusing on hours spent doing sidewalk astronomy and telescope building.
 
We do ask for a $15 yearly donation (clubs or individuals) to help cover the costs of the newsletter and also accept donations of any amount, but it is not mandatory. Our main goal is to get people out on the streets and to build a working database of amatuers around the world. Everyone participating in International Sidewalk Astronomy Night should be sure to send us their postal address so that they can receive the next newsletter and the follow-up report on the May 19th event.
 
Please send postal information and any questions about joining the Sidewalk Astronomers to dsmith1055@earthlink.net . Even if you aren't a member, you can send me photos and articles about your past pulbic events that I can use in the newsletter or on the website because they may inspire or help others who wish to do public events. 
 
Its really important that we connect, in trying to contact clubs around the world I found that most websites, email lists, and databases are extremely out of date. The Sidewalk Astronomers don't sell their databases or member information.
