The American Association of Amateur Astronomers |
FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
January 4, 2001 -- The American Association of Amateur Astronomers has created an online archive of The American Astronomer, its quarterly newsletter. All issues to date of the AAAA newsletter have been converted to Adobe Acrobat PDF format and put in the online archive. When you download the PDF version to your computer, you will be able to view the pictures and graphics in color and print the newsletter on your color printer.
The American Astronomer is your quarterly newsletter from the AAAA, and is a benefit of membership. For that reason, we are making the complete archive available only to current AAAA members. However, issues more that a year old can be downloaded from the AAAA by visiting the following page on our website.

Starting with the March 2001 issue of The American Astronomer, we will include the archive address of that issue in the newsletter for you to access online. We will then send an e-mail notification when each issue is mailed to all member e-mail addresses we have on record, so you will know the new issue is also available for download. In any case, we will continue to send the printed copy to members through the mail, as one of the benefits of membership in the AAAA that you have paid for.
All AAAA members are encouraged to submit articles and photographs for publication in The American Astronomer. Send or e-mail your articles and photos to me at my return address on this message or to the Post Office Address in each issue of the newsletter.
John Wagoner and I are proud of The American Astronomer, and of the many contributions that you and all the members are making to the AAAA and its newsletter. We want the AAAA to continue to be one of the best astronomy clubs in the country, and the important source of astronomy information that you have come to expect it to be.
We hope you enjoy this archive, and find it of great use and value.
Thank you for being a member of the American Association of Amateur Astronomers.
Sincerely,
Ed Flaspoehler, Vice President

The American Association of Amateur Astronomers has had an active presence in the amateur astronomy community since 1996. As the AAAA continues to grow and expand, it is having a wider and wider influence among amateur astronomers, and continues to refine the use of the internet as a tool to promote amateur astronomy to the widest possible audience. Through the medium of its own web page, an online store devoted to carefully chosen astronomy merchandise, our own quarterly newsletter, reciprocal links with other astronomy web sites, the creative use of online resources such as eGroups, Listbot and banner advertising, affiliate programs such as Amazon.com, and partnerships with well recognized astronomy organizations such as Sky Publishing, Kalmbach Publishing, Bushnell Sports Optics and the Astronomical League, the American Association of Amateur Astronomers has become an important source of astronomy information on the World Wide Web.
