Virgil and I finalized the text to be distributed massively.

While Dennis Stone (the President of WSW for those
that don't know, THE main person who has supported
WSW for many many years) has a look and gives the
final go-ahead, we now really need to compile lists
where to this test to.

For example, Hamed (WSW National Co-ordinator who
just joined) gave a suggestion and a bit looking further
on the URL he sent, gave me the following:

Now let's collect more of those beauties!!!!

I'm counting on YOU! Thank you.

Jim


Dear Space Enthusiasts and Educators,


Celebrate UN-declared World Space Week 2009

You are cordially invited to be part of the largest, public,
space event on Earth! World Space Week – established by the
United Nations in 1999 – is taking place every year between
4-10 October. It is the best occasion to use space to excite
students!

During UN-declared World Space Week a large number of public
events and educational programmes are held simultaneously
all around the world, on the Internet, even in outer space!

As the theme of World Space Week 2009 is “Space for Education”
we encourage in particular the participation of educational
establishments to join us in celebrating our 10th Anniversary.

Apart from Universities, professional, primary and secondary
schools the UN-declared World Space Week is open to anybody
with an interest in space: non-governmental organisations,
corporations, associations, cities, individuals, you name it!

As World Space Week participant you're encouraged to organise
space-themed activities. More info and supporting links can be
found in our worldwide Invitation to Participate (PDF/MSWord):
http://www.worldspaceweek.org/Invitation_to_Partcipate.html

To show to the media and the public the extent of your event,
classroom or organisation and how it contributes to the world
celebrations it is of utmost importance to register your event
at: http://www.worldspaceweek.org/calendar_2009.php

To recognize the most creative use of space to inspire students,
World Space Week Association will offer several $500 Educational
Award this year.

On behalf of the World Space Week volunteer team,

kind regards,
