Greetings Fellow Astronomers!
April is nearly upon us, and with it comes Global Astronomy Month. I know that participating in public outreach activities is not everyone’s cup of tea and we are all on this list for a variety of reasons and interests, so those who are not interested in star parties and public outreach can feel free to switch off now, I won’t be offended!
For those who are left reading this, it is not too late to organise something in your region or city or town! There are a number of ways to become involved and a whole month in which to participate as much or as little as you want. Here are a number of links to get you started:-

• Global Astronomy Month Homepage
• 10 Ways to Participate in Global Astronomy Month
• Explore the Universe Through Remote Observing
• Program Ideas and Special Dates
• Register Your Global Astronomy Month Events!

If you need any further information, I am the NZ National Coordinator, so feel free to email me offlist, or Donna, who is the Australian National Coordinator - our contact details are in the original post.
Regards,
Mike White
