Dear Sir / Madam,
SPONSORSHIP FOR STAR PARTY 2007 - OBSERVATION COMPETITION
The Anandian Astronomical Association is one of the leading school based Astronomy society in Sri Lanka. We have been organizing the SIR ARTHUR C. CLARKE CHALLENGE TROPHY for six consecutive years, which has gained its reputation as the best school based astronomy quiz competition in Sri Lanka. Through this event our ambition of making Astronomy a more popular science in Sri Lanka has become a reality in the last few years.
Another main objective of our club is to make observational astronomy more popular among students. As a mile stone of our quest we have been organizing the “Star Party” the FIRST and ONLY observation competition in SOUTH ASIA as a combine effort with MAHAMAYA Girls College Kandy since 2004 for three succeeded years.
This prestigious event will be organized as an affiliated project with Astronomical Association of Mahamaya Girls’ School, KANDY for the fourth time on the 23rd February from 6.00 pm to 6.00 am next morning at the PERADENIYA UNIVERSITY GROUND, University of Peradeniya, Peradeniya, SRILANKA with the participation of many leading school astronomy societies of SRILANKA and accredited personnel.
Therefore we’d be glad if you could contribute to our monetary requirements to make this glorious event a grand success. In accordance with this the Organizing Committee of STAR PARTY 2007 has decided to seek the assistance of sponsors at the event. The corresponding sponsorships are negotiable and we envisage that your generous cooperation will be granted to us.
We shall be obliged if you could grant paramount interest on this matter.
