Community Involvement
The planetarium offers programs for the general public and for local schools. It has worked with local Boy Scout and Girl Scout units, offering programs to help them earn merit badges. Several couples have chosen the Barlow as a place for their weddings. Bands and musicians, including noted space music musician Jonn Serrie, have performed in the Barlow's dome. The planetarium also works with the local astronomy club NEWSTAR (North East Wisconsin Stargazers) to host a spring event commemorating International Astronomy Day.

Famous quotes containing the words community and/or involvement:
“when Mrs Kindhead comes to collect for the Community Chest
grab her and tell her There are unfavorable omens in the sky!
And when the mayor comes to get my vote tell him
When are you going to stop people killing whales!”
—Gregory Corso (b. 1930)
“What causes adolescents to rebel is not the assertion of authority but the arbitrary use of power, with little explanation of the rules and no involvement in decision-making. . . . Involving the adolescent in decisions doesn’t mean that you are giving up your authority. It means acknowledging that the teenager is growing up and has the right to participate in decisions that affect his or her life.”
—Laurence Steinberg (20th century)
