National Planetary Exploration Car Wash & Bake Sale

[airdvr 210]

* Saturday June 9th

* Goal: Planetary fund raisers by a broad cross-section of planetary research and exploration institutions (We expect 20-30).

* Objective: Draw media attention to the planetary budget cuts and the need to repair them.

* Each event has a local lead organizer, a media rep, and a treasurer.

* Publicize via PEN, Facebook, Twitter, and press stories.

* Handouts on the planetary budget crisis given to every person coming to each car wash/bake sale.

* National coordinator provides a simple instructional “event cookbook” kit and standard messaging for the press.

* Funds collected by each event sent by event organizers to House or Senate Appropriations—dozens of letters with cash.

* Nine anchor partner institutions aboard before announcing.
