Helping out The Cherry Springs Dark Sky Fund

Hey Stargazers!

Here is an interesting bit of information I thought I would pass along to all of you and I encourage you to participate. The PA Parks and Forests Foundation (which administers our Cherry Springs Dark Sky Fund) can add a penny for every time you search the internet. Here's how:

GoodSearch.com is a new search engine that donates half its revenue - about a penny a search - to the charity of your choice. You use it as you would any search engine, and it's powered by Yahoo!, so you get great results. Just go to GoodSearch.com, register Pennsylvania Parks and Forests Foundation as the charity of your choice, and search the internet using the GoodSearch.com search engine. Its that easy!!

This looks like a simple and easy way to help out our parent organization that has greatly supported CSSP in the past. Please consider making the switch to GoodSearch.com today.

Thanks!!

Max Harrison
