Hero Astronauts Offer Out-Of-This-World Club for the Holidays
You may never go to space, but here’s a chance to receive a letter and an autographed photo from legendary astronauts who have! Twelve space heroes have come together for a sixth year to offer memberships to the 2009 Astronaut Autograph Club as a means to raise money for college scholarships through the Astronaut Scholarship Foundation. The club affords its members an autographed photo and personalized letter from a U.S. Hall of Fame Astronaut for every month of the year!
“The Astronaut Autograph Club is a fun way to engage kids and adults alike in the excitement of space exploration and the significance it has on society,” said Apollo 13 astronaut James Lovell who is participating in the club. “Every dollar raised from this club goes directly to fund scholarships for some of the very best and brightest engineering and science college students in our nation through awards given by the Astronaut Scholarship Foundation.”
The stellar line-up of participating astronauts include Gemini and Apollo astronauts Lovell and Jim McDivitt; Skylab and Space Shuttle astronaut Owen Garriott; Apollo-Soyuz Test Project and Space Shuttle astronaut Vance Brand; veteran Space Shuttle astronauts Hank Hartsfield, Rick Hauck, Steve Hawley and four additional American heroes!
Limited to the first 350 to subscribe, members also receive two Kennedy Space Center Visitor Complex admission tickets ($80 value), a certificate of membership and an archival photo box with protective sleeves to keep the photos in pristine condition.
The Astronaut Autograph Club can be joined for a recurring monthly charge of $49.95 for twelve months or save $100 when making a one-time payment of $499. Orders can be placed online at www.AstronautScholarship.org or by calling 321-455-7014.
Unlike other ‘flavor-of-the-month’ services, the Astronaut Autograph Club makes for the perfect gift that will be long-treasured after the holidays and for many years to come. Memberships are going fast.
All proceeds go directly to fund college scholarships to exceptional students in the science or engineering field of their major. The Astronaut Scholarship Foundation, a 501 (c)(3) nonprofit organization, awards 20 $10,000 scholarships annually and has awarded more than $2.6 million to students nationwide.
