Dear Community,

The 2010 Pinhead Town Talks science lecture series is being scaled back to five programs from the usual ten because of lack of funding. The wonderful Pinhead Punk Science program has likewise experienced a drastic cut in funding. 

Please consider donating today to ensure a strong public presence of science in the Telluride region.

Mail a tax-deductible check to TSRC, PO Box 2429, Telluride, CO 81435. Or call Nana Naisbitt to make other arrangements at 970-708-0004.

TSRC and Pinhead would like to especially thank Telluride Mountain Village Owner's Association (TMVOA), who for so many years generously supported the Town Talks at the Conference Center in Mountain Village. 

Sincerely,

Nana Naisbitt, TSRC Executive Director
