The holidays have passed and the New Year has begun. 
We must now get back to business and concentrate
on the products and services we offer. 
 But when we go home in the evening let’s relax!

So how about Stargazing with Starbucks?
 

WHAT A GREAT IDEA!!

Imagine seeing the bright constellations of the Orion family shine high after dinnertime on clear, cool nights with a flavorful cup of Starbucks coffee or tea. See Orion himself stride high across the southeast. Floating above him is Taurus and the Gemini twins, adorned by Saturn glowing just below them, lie far to Orion's left.
 

OUT OF THIS WORLD!

IWS wants to help you relax (maybe even start you on a new hobby) with the opportunity of winning Starbucks gift cards and a dynamite reflector telescope great for viewing stars, planets and the moon.  The sky is full of wonders every night of the week!
 

ASTRONOMICAL!

Back on earth, IWS wants you to be a winner.  It’s so easy. Just “make the offer happen” every time.  Members need all the information available when purchasing a VSA, so why not have it come from a source they trust, their credit union?  Zone in on the cosmic rays and you’ll be Stargazing with Starbucks in no time.
 

THE CONTEST
It’s easy. Just “make the offer happen” to each eligible member and help the credit union make its goal. Set your goal and you may be a winner!

CONTEST RULES AND PRIZES
The contest period will run from January 1, 2006 until March 31, 2006. Prizes will be awarded in April 2006.

As soon as you reach 8 VSA/MBI you'll receive a $10.00 Starbucks Gift Card.

At the end of the contest period the following prizes will be awarded:
 

Celestial Seeker

Includes 4 Seasonal Night Sky Maps! 

Flip the lid; insert one of the constellation cards and presto, an illuminating, portable star finder!  

Each Celestial Seeker includes 20 constellation cards with time of year and general direction on how to find the stars in a snap. An informative booklet is also provided, a great way to become familiar with the night sky.

Reflector Telescope

The ultimate telescope, the reflector telescope is great for viewing stars, planets and the moon. The electronic red dot finder scope lets you quickly find objects in the sky or on land. The sturdy aluminum tripod and large eyepieces will help the most basic beginner view the sky with confidence.

Look out Milky Way!
