Horkheimer Service Awards Program extended to April 15
The deadline for the Horkheimer Service awards program has been extended April 15.
If a member of your local astronomy club is under the age of 19 please encourage them to apply for the Jack Horkheimer awards. The Award is based upon service to the League, either directly or through service to any Astronomical League society. Service could be in the form of educational outreach, knowledge and skills at public star parties or other astronomical service.
Young astronomers can apply for both the National Young Astronomer Award and the Horkheimer Awards. The three awards are the Horkheimer/Smith Award, Horkheimer/Parker Award and the Horkheimer/D’Auria Award.
The winner of the Horkheimer/Smith Award will receive an expenses-paid trip to the 2010 Astronomical League Convention in Tucson, Arizona, a plaque presented at the convention’s awards banquet and a $1,000 cash prize. In addition, for the past several years, Celestron, Inc. has donated one of its fine telescopes to the Horkheimer winner. Top finishers for the Horkheimer/Parker Award and the Horkeimer/A’Auria Award also receive the $1,000 cash prize.
