Treasurer Allen Yu discussed ALP preparation for the upcoming
National Astronomy Week (NAW) 2007 which will be celebrated between February 18 to
24. Since PAGASA havent come up with this year's NAW theme yet , ALP had decided to
use their own theme as NAW is just around the corner already. Upon several suggested
themes, the members had decided to have this year's theme as "Shaping the Future of
Philippine Astronomy." (Latest Update: PAGASA finally come up with their theme
which is "NAW: A Countdown to the International Year of Astronomy 2009."
Since ALP NAW theme is almost in line with that of PAGASA's, ALP has decided to stick to
their original theme as it was already finalized last Sunday and PAGASA coming up with
their theme just this February 6.)
