The Voyager Club April Mission Report: Acting and Make Up - Getting Our Volunteers Ready for Summer Camps. Come See the Space Center's Newest Star Show "Deeper Universe". Mission.io Fun and Learning - Doing it Right! Imaginarium Theater

      

The Monthly Meetings Always Start with BINGO and have done so for over 30 years!

The Voyager Club touched down this past Saturday for our April meeting. For those new to the coordinates, the Voyager Club is the Space Center’s premier organization for astronomy, science fiction, and all things science. We are open to everyone in the community aged 12 and up—provided you have the "right stuff."

Our Senior Club Members are Rewarded with Extra Bingo Cards. Good Luck!

Joining the Crew

Becoming a Voyager is simple, but it does require commitment. Our members follow a code to ensure the Space Center is always staffed with community-minded, dedicated, and committed staff and volunteers:

• Academic Excellence: This requirement applies only to our members in 7th–12th grade. They must maintain good grades and submit report cards every school term.

• Mission Support: Members volunteer at least 4.5 hours per month. Whether you’re staffing a simulator, creating props, animating, or programming, your work keeps the Center flying.

• Professionalism: Dress for success and act the part while on duty.

• Presence: Attend our monthly meetings. Every meeting begins by welcoming our newest recruits. Following introductions, leadership presents Years of Service pins. These aren't just accessories; they are badges of honor worn proudly on volunteer lanyards

Four New Members Were Introduced on Saturday

Our meeting themes alternate to keep us up to date on space science and Space Center needs. One month, we dive deep into Space and Astronomy to stay current on cosmic theories and NASA's latest wins. The next month, we pivot to other specialized skills.

The Voyagers split into groups to rotate through these workshops, gaining the skills needed to make this summer’s camps truly immersive. We capped off the afternoon with a raffle, sending several lucky members home with some nice prizes.
