ABOUT US
        Westminster Astronomical Society was founded in 1984, in the town of Westminster, Maryland.  The first meeting consisted of 5 persons (notice the numbers Officers?) at the Westminster Public Library.  Since then, we have grown to 85+ members.

        When Carroll County opened Bear Branch Nature Center, WAS pitched in to help build the Bear Branch Planetarium.  Today we continue to operate and provide shows for the Nature Center as well as many other star parties around the community.  In 2003, Westminster Astronomical Society became Incorporated.
Non-Profit Status
        We have been granted Non-profit Status under IRS section 501(c)(3). We are described under section 509(a)(2) as a "publicly supported foundation". Which means a majority of our funding comes from you. See our acceptance to exemption letter (requires Adobe Acrobat).
