The “Friends” of the Planetarium was formed in January of 2000. It is a community organization for anyone interested in astronomy, space exploration and the effective use of the planetarium. It is also a support group for the ongoing activities, outreaches and the spread of science education to our community. Friends memberships run from the 2023 Spring Equinox (Monday, March 20) to the 2024 Spring Equinox (Tuesday, March 19, 2024).
