Dear Greg and John, Again, thank you so much for coming to Gail Borden and explaining ARISS in detail. We met with John Fleener yesterday, who will be working with us to video tape and get the event streamed live from our library website. Yes, he wants to document the antenna installation.
Denise and the library director are on their way to the Mayor's office this afternoon to petition for a cable TV hook up, so the ISS contact could be live on cable TV simultaneously.
Per your request for your phone call today, here are the numbers of schools K-12 in our library district: Public: 23 Elementary, 6 Middle, 3 High Private: 13 K-8, 4 High Total: 49 K-12 schools, and does not include any daycares, preschools, or home school organizations
We are already in the process of working with schools to have the room filled with school children. We are working on the PR to draw questions from children throughout our library district. We will have those ready for you by Wed. August 15.
Please note that I will be out of town from Sunday, July 29-Aug 13. I will check email when I can get a connection from Isle Royale and the North woods. Denise will be out of the office from Friday, July 27-Monday, Aug. 6, but should be able to pick up email.
Best, Miriam
