Next Space Aliens Grill & Bar Observatory Fundraiser is February 21st

Beginning on January 17, 2012, Space Studies has been collaborating with Space Aliens Grill & Bar on a monthly fundraising drive where 20% of the day’s participating gross receipts are donated to the UND Observatory. If you wish to help raise money for the UND Observatory, just bring the attached flyer to the restaurant on the next event scheduled for February 21, 2012, and present it to your server during your visit. The UND Observatory will receive 20% of the receipts from all those participating for the entire day.

During each fundraising day, we are planning on conducting various activities and showing displays of various space-related items. These efforts will occur monthly and are scheduled to coincide with kid’s night at the restaurant—–reduced meals for kids and free tokens for the game room.

Thank you in advance for any help that you can provide in our efforts to raise money for the observatory. Renovations and upgrades since 2005 — thanks in large part to Aerospace assistance — have led to an operational facility that supports diverse types of astronomical education and research efforts.

Much more work and plans for expansion are in development. If you have any questions, please contact
