Colas For The Cosmos giveaway recipients for 2009.

I started the Colas For The Cosmos project with the goal of helping others pursue their interest in astronomy. Over the last 12 months, and with a lot of help from friends and strangers alike I have been able to continue to pursue that goal, and give away six pair of Celestron UpClose 10x50 binoculars. Below is the list of recipients of the binoculars:

• A school program that one Seattle Astronomical Society member is involved in.
• The grandchild of another Seattle Astronomical Society member.
• Sound Experience through two more Seattle Astronomical Society members.
• A family that sponsored by the Tacoma Astronomical Society.
• Northwest School
• Sibling House: An organization working to keep siblings together while in foster care.

For 2010 Coke Rewards is offering a Celestron 4-in-1 Digital Binocular Camera (sorry I don't have a URL for the item), and even though it will require more points for each pair I am hoping to gave away 8 to 10 pair in 2010.

Hopefully I can meet this goal, and continue to help others get involved in astronomy. If you interesting in helping and have any Coke Rewards points you would like to donate just drop me a line.

Many thanks to those who helped me, and wishes of clear skies to those who received the binoculars.

Cheers ~ Jim Cox
