Our nonprofit is poised for growth and we are looking for special volunteer board members! If you have a background in accounting or a willingness to organize special event fundraisers, we would be very happy to welcome you aboard! The board meets monthly and an interest in nature and astronomy is a plus, but not required! This is a great opportunity for people who live in southern Rhode Island.

Mission Statement
Frosty Drew Memorial Fund, Inc: Enlighten, discover, inspire- through education and research- knowledge about science, the night sky, and the universe.
Description
Frosty Drew Observatory and Science Center is Southern New England's gateway to the Milky Way! We are located at one of the darkest sites in Southern New England where thousands of stars are visible overhead.
Frosty Drew, our namesake, was interested in a wide range of ecological and conservation activities, particularly along Rhode Island's beautiful shores. As a child, Frosty contracted polio, weakening him through life and contributing to his death at the age of 28.
Our programs focus on education of both children and adults:
1) Weekly Stargazing Nights events
2) Themed events focused on meteor showers, observing the Milky Way, and other celestial events.
3) School field trips focusing on astronomy, conservation, astrophysics, and the night sky.
4) BSA scouting field trips focused on astronomy badge achievement.
