Good morning All,
At our PAS Meeting of the Minds on 6/26 at PVCC in G-147 at 7pm we will be voting on a few topics that will change the PAS constitution. PAS members are urged to attend this meeting to help us decide if these changes are needed.
Please see the current, July issue, page 10, of PASTimes Newsletter (downloadable from our website - www.pasaz.org) for the list of 3 items we will be voting on. PAS members should attend, others are welcome.
We are also holding a 2nd PAS Website Training Workshop at that same meeting. If you haven't already signed up for the website and you are a PAS member and want to know more about it, please attend. Chris will be training us once again on how to use the PAS website. Non members are welcome to attend and get help getting signed up as well.
This month we have a few topics to discuss that may interest you as well. See those topics also
listed in the current July issue of the newsletter.
Hope everyone is having an awesome Monday afternoon!
Check out the calendar of events at www.pasaz.org and see what fun stuff we have coming up for this summer's activities with PAS.
The newest addition to the website that is a work in progress currently, is the Kids Corner. It isn't done yet but once it is, it will have KID FRIENDLY websites, as well as suggestions on books to read about Space, and a download section of PAS Member created pages.
For instance, there is a collection of PAS bookmarks that can be downloaded. These bookmarks are given as prizes when we print them and hand them out, but anyone is welcome to download the page, print it themselves, and enjoy them. They are informative about the object that is shown on them, as well as pretty and fun to use.
Another cool item is the puzzles that PAS members have made
and used in the past. One such puzzle is the constellation puzzle. Download the instruction page and the puzzle page first. Then try your best to find those constellations. If you get stumped,
download the answer key. We hope you have fun with it before needing the answer key.
And as we expand, we will be adding KID FRIENDLY LINKS, to other sites that we feel are appropriate and fun for kids of all ages. If you have suggestions to add, see my list on the main page of this blog, as those will be added to the page as soon as we can get them there. We want kids to feel confident they are visiting pages that do not have the wrong message on them... safety first.... so if you find a really cool activity type kids page, send it my way. I'll add it first to this blog, and then to the website when we get that part going.
If you have ideas of things to add to the Kids Korner, just drop me an email and I'll see what I can do to get it added.
Have a spectacular Monday!
