Another begging note

I hope you’ve had a chance to read the posts recently added by Deirdre Kelleghan. We’re delighted to add her to our roster; she brings to our site a wonderful talent both in astronomical drawing and in outreach to the public, especially school children. Her stories of how she reaches kids are both entertaining and full of good ideas that those of us who also do outreach can learn from.

I first met her in Ireland in 2009, during the International Year of Astronomy celebrations, which included an exhibit of astronomical drawings at the incredible castle/observatory in Cork…

At BCO in Cork: Br Guy Consolmagno, Brian Birmingham, Lord Mayor of Cork and Deirdre Kelleghan (March 30th 2009)

As I have mentioned before, we pay our contributors. Not a lot, mind you; but something. The workman (or woman) is worth his/her wage. (I read that somewhere.) Furthermore, the whole work of the Vatican Observatory Foundation, the hosts for this site, depends on private donations from “people like you”. We’re incredibly grateful for all the support we’ve received.

But… if you like what we’re doing, please be sure that you are one of those supporters. When we add a new writer, we need new donors!
