We need to send photos of successful plantings back to the Forestry Service so they may qualify the effectiveness of their free seedling distribution.

Now is a great time to think about switching to an electric vehicle. With more than 100 models on the market from every major automaker, almost 2.5 million Americans are driving electric. There’s an EV for everyone: SUVs, crossovers, sportscars, sedans, luxury cars, minivans… and electric pickup trucks are coming soon! You can get a fully electric car that runs on 100% electricity, or a plug-in hybrid that runs on electricity and switches over to gasoline when the battery is low.
Whether you care about performance, affordability, convenience, clean air or the climate, an electric car may be just what you’re looking for.

One of our volunteers, Alan Midkiff, donated a 25" telescope to United Astronomy Clubs of New Jersey in 2018 and after many months of preparation, including consultations with engineers and architects, soliciting bids for the construction, and hiring a contractor, we are ready to break ground on a 16' x 16' observatory to house this JMI Newtonian reflecting telescope.
Our previous fundraising for this project more than covered these preliminary steps, but more funds are needed to see this project through to completion. A generous donor has pledged to match the next $5000 raised for the Midkiff Observatory. If we meet this goal, UACNJ will be able to cover the rest of the project with funds on hand.
You may send your donation to UACNJ at P.O. Box 150, Hope, NJ 07844 (make checks payable to UACNJ please) or donate using PayPal or a credit card at www.uacnj.org. We hope to begin construction next month, so please make your donation by April 30th to ensure that your dollars are doubled; the donor’s match ends May 1st.
All donations to UACNJ are tax deductible and all donors will receive a receipt for income tax purposes. Donors will be recognized on a plaque in the new observatory when it is complete.
