NSS WORLD SPACE WEEK LETTERS TO THE EDITORS CAMPAIGN, October 4-10, 2002
World Space Week is coming! Let your voices be heard and your words
be read!
The National Space Society's Board of Directors is sponsoring a
Letters to the Editors campaign to increase public awareness of World Space
Week, a United Nations-sponsored event "to celebrate each year at the
international level the contributions of space science and technology to the
betterment of the human condition." This is your chance to share your
enthusiasm and support space exploration, World Space Week, and your
Society. Our goal is to see NSS members' letters printed in the Top 100
newspapers and magazines in the United States, and other respected
publications worldwide. A list of the Top 100 newspapers can be found at
http://www.infoplease.com/ipea/A0004420.html.
Members who send a letter to one of these periodicals and e-mail a
copy to will have their name put into a prize
drawing, which will be conducted on November 1, 2002. Members whose letters
are published will have five entries placed into the drawing. These prizes
include VHS or DVD copies of Tom Hanks' award-winning HBO miniseries "From
the Earth to the Moon" and copies of Buzz Aldrin's latest novel The Return.
The Grand Prize for this drawing will be a trip to the 2003 International
Space Development Conference in San Jose, California, including full
registration, airfare, and three nights' hotel accommodations, an $800 value!
If you have additional questions regarding this campaign, you may
address them via e-mail to Chris Pancratz or Bart
Leahy . Let your voices be heard!
