Thanks to our members Phil Roberts and Ken Wilson a request was made of Virginia Senator John Watkins to introduce a resolution in the Virginia General Assembly designating 2009 as the Year of Astronomy in Virginia. Senator Watkins kindly introduced the resolution this month.
The full text of the proposed resolution is at:

Many thanks to Senator Watkins, Phil and Ken. May we have a very astronomical 2009.
If you like, you might contact your state senator or delegate and express your support for the resolution.
Regards,
Jim Browder
