Program for the Memorial Dedication

June 1, 2009
We would like to thank everyone who donated their time, effort, and money
to the Robert Burnham Jr. Memorial Fund. The plaque was installed at Lowell Observatory in Flagstaff Arizona on May
29, 2009. A plan is in the works for a dedication ceremony to take place at the
Observatory possibly around August 2009.
Please check back with East Valley Astronomy Club often for further
details and a photo of the installed memorial.
Please discontinue contributions to this fund at this time. I say this
with a very special thanks to East Valley Astronomy Club who so graciously
took on the task of setting up this donation account including maintenance
well past the original agreed upon date.
A suggested and deserving place to put an astronomy donation in the memory
of Robert Burnham Jr. is The Friends of Lowell Observatory
Friends of Lowell Observatory .
The balance of the fund will be put into a scholarship check for a student
at Prescott High School (Burnham's Alma Mater) to pursue an astronomy
related field at Northern Arizona University in Flagstaff.
For questions email Jennifer or call 480-967-1658. If you would like to be included on a short-lived
Email list regarding the status of the memorial, dedication ceremony, etc., please email Jennifer directly.
If you would like a formal thank you/invitation via regular mail, please include your street address.
Kindest regards to all of you on behalf of the Robert Burnham Jr. Memorial
Project.
