    The Scholarship Fund is accepting applications from students who will be pursuing a four-year degree in the physical sciences, preferably related to astronomy, astrophysics, and related engineering.

    Please spread the word about the applications being open far and wide, and let people know they can start applying as of now.  

    Information about the process is located at the VNH Scholarship page on our website, here:

    The actual application process has been moved completely online, and is located here:

    Additionally, I ask that if you know anyone involved in education, whether at the high school or college level, to let them know as well.  We want to spread the word far and wide.  Teachers, professors, guidance counselors, principals, financial aid officers, administrators . . .

    Thanks!

    Have you thought about a leadership role in Denver Astronomical Society?  It’s a great way to be involved in continuing to make DAS the great organization that it is. Do you know someone who would be great in a leadership role at DAS? 

    Nominations for the election of Executive Board (“E-Board”) trustees and officers will open during January’s general membership meeting on Jan 29th, and will remain open until noon February 24th Denver time.

    2021’s election is scheduled for our annual membership meeting on Friday, February 26th at our Virtual General Meeting using "ElectionBuddy.com" election management software (details to follow). The election is planned to open the morning of February 25th and will close at 9 PM February 26 during the General Meeting, to allow early voting.

    If you’re interested in throwing your hat in the ring drop a note to this year’s Election Chair, Tim Pimentel. He can be reached at nominations@denverastro.org.

    We at the DAS are sad to announce that DAS member Johnny Barela passed away this morning, December 16, at 6:00 a.m., following an illness, and while in the hospital.
    Johnny and his wife, Eileen, won the Bills Ormsby Memorial Volunteer Award a couple of years ago for their outstanding service to the club and the public. 
    Our deepest condolences go out to Eileen, and we will be sharing more information later when she is able to provide it.
