As we are rolling with our new fall semester, <b>Astronomy on Tap Boston is again looking for more volunteers to help plan Astronomy on Tap (AoT) events in the area.</b> If you're interested, please reply to this email and I would be more than happy to connect
you with our local AoT folks through Slack. </div>

I am entering the last few semesters of my PhD, and we have recently had many organizers graduate and move on to their new institutions, so we could really use more folks on the team who are interested in keeping the AoT events alive in the Boston area. If
you could please also share this with your local network, that would be great. Below I have included a few more details about AoT, for those who are not familiar: </div>

talks in local bars, with games/trivia and interactions with the public. Presenters are typically from local research and educational institutions. </div>

Usually, events are planned jointly by multiple folks on the AoT organizers team. Tasks are typically divided among organizers, which can include inviting and coordinating with speakers, writing trivia, coordinating with a local brewery/pub to host the event,
or social media outreach, among other things. </div>

The more organizers that are on the team, the easier it is to plan these events!</div>

AoT is a lot of fun. It's a great way to have an opportunity to interact with the Astro community outside of our research institutions, and also get the public engaged in astronomy. If you have any questions, please feel free to reach out to me. </div>
