Another Niagara Falls FieldtripSaturday, June 16, 2012 Interest in our Niagara Falls fieldtrip continues to grow! Please set aside the date, June 16, 2012, so you can join our group for a fun and fact-filled day with Niagara Falls expert Terry Kanouse and possibly a professional geologist who is a graduate of the Institute for Creation Research! This fieldtrip will be much more in-depth than our last fieldtrip. It will include strenuous hiking, fossil and rock identification and more!

From the Directorby Josiah Detwiler
Most of our visitors hear about us from family and friends, or on the internet when looking for things to do in the Akron area. In light of this we have created a Facebook page to make it easy for you tell your friends about our museum and park. We also have a special “promote us” page on our website where you can download posters, PowerPoint slides and church bulletin inserts promoting our events. We can also supply you with flyers, brochures and our “Dino Dollar” coupons for you to share with friends or post in public places. Just say the word and we’ll get our materials into your hands.
Become a Museum Member - If you plan on visiting us more than twice a year, consider buying an annual family membership. The perks are great and the $75 pass supports a good cause. Think about it, what other institution can you take your friends, family and students to where you will hear amazing facts of science presented in a God-honoring way, hold real fossils, enjoy a guided tour (catered to the age of your group), play in an outdoor adventure park (complete with a 200 foot long zip-line, 9 hole mini-golf course, swings, slides and more), plus get to eat your packed lunch in an outdoor picnic shelter?!
New Speakers - I can no longer keep up with all of the requests for my traveling “Museum in a Backpack” presentations. John Lookabaugh and Jodie Brewer have joined our speaker’s panel and will also be available to give presentations in schools and churches. I encourage you to read more about John and Jodie on the outreach section of our website.
 Help Needed for Projects - Many people do not realize that we often schedule volunteer work parties to help us with cleaning, maintenance and new construction projects throughout the year. If you’d like to organize a work day for your family or group, or just help out as an individual, please take a look at the Wish List on our website to see our current needs. Speaking of projects, the illustration shown here is a concept drawing of what our museum entrance will look like once enough funding for the project is procured.
Community Connection Progress - I continue to introduce our Science Center to the mission boards of local churches. I would be delighted to meet with the leaders of your church to discuss adding our Science Center to your mission funding board.
Thank you again for all of your prayers and support.

My, my- what a summer we have had. Our emphasis on marketing really paid off. Josiah hosted several booths and spoke at a wide variety of places to diversified audiences. We did some radio ads on 95.5 “The Fish” which produced measurable results. We plan to use our remaining budget with them to advertise Dr. Sarfati, who is speaking at Heritage Christian on October 7th at 7 p.m. His lecture is on “Design, Deluge, and Dilemma,” which we encourage as many people as possible to attend. We also plan to use 95.5 to help us boost our attendance at the Silent Auction, which this year is being held at Northside Christian Church in Wadsworth. Greg Spickard and his team have planned an exciting event featuring a “Dinner & Show.” Please join us; we already are receiving some wonderful donations.
The museum has its seasons, and with the end of summer comes the season for 
Dinosaur repair and fossil casting - I know we have several budding artists who have participated in science classes here at the museum. Well, dear artists, restoration work is in progress on the dinos we already have in Truassic Park and I am sure the museum would love to see us make some more. If you are interested in tutoring time with me to learn the ropes, please email me for more info. We would also love donations of fiberglass and bondo. I have also begun fossil replica casting. Again, be sure to 
We had a great summer, this year, with many exciting things going on here at the Science Center. Camps were in full swing with two themes to choose from; “
