These celebrations provide an opportunity for scientists to interact informally with the general public in support of science. Most events are sponsored by existing institutions such as universities, colleges, museums, churches, and libraries as well as private groups. Our organization acts to promote, advise, and publicize these Darwin Day Celebrations. Now is the time to start planning for 2007 -- Charles Darwin's 198^th birthday. These international festivities in recognition of Science and Humanity will take place around the world -- and don't forget, there are only 2 more years before his *bicentennial* birthday!

Darwin Day Celebration

AN INTERNATIONAL RECOGNITION OF SCIENCE AND HUMANITY

2682 Middlefield Rd., Suite P, Redwood City, CA 94063-3467 * info@darwinday.org * 650-701-1948

Dear "PROFNAME" <TTTTT>,

Each year Darwin Day celebrations, in recognition of Science and Humanity, take place on, or near February 12, Charles Darwin’s birthday. These celebrations provide an opportunity for scientists to interact informally with the general public in support of science. Most events are sponsored by existing institutions such as universities, colleges, museums, churches, and libraries as well as private groups. Our organization acts to promote, advise, and publicize these Darwin Day Celebrations. Now is the time to start planning for 2007 -- Charles Darwin’s 198^th birthday. These international festivities in recognition of Science and Humanity will take place around the world -- and don’t forget, there are only 2 more years before his bicentennial birthday!

For those of you who have participated before, this letter will serve as a reminder and for those who have not, we encourage you to seriously consider joining the rest of us. These activities are a great way to celebrate Darwin, Science, and Humanity but it is even more important as an avenue to introduce modern science to the general public in an atmosphere of geniality.
