The many successes of Fermilab's K-12 education programs depend on the talents of the over 200 volunteers who help out each year. It is these people whom we want to honor with a new

DIRECTOR'S AWARD

An annual award of $1,000, made possible by an anonymous donor, recognizes one volunteer a year whose contributions are outstanding, even among the many volunteer supporters of Fermilab's K-12 education programs.

The 2005 award was presented to Mike Albrow at the Volunteers Reception on November 30th.

Congratulations to the 2005 finalists: Curt Danner, Don Lincoln, Arnold Pompos, Ron Ray and Jerry Zimmerman.

Congratulations to the 2005 nominees: Muzaffer Atac, Geoff Eargle, Terry Kiper, John Korienek and Paul Nienaber.

Mike's citation reads

Fermi National Accelerator Laboratory recognizes the exceptional contributions of Michael Albrow to our K-12 programs with his effort to bring the World Year of Physics to 10,000 students at area schools. He has inspired a group of dedicated volunteers who have offered nine presentations for students in grades 2 to 12. He has enhanced both the Laboratory's reputation in education and science research in the area's classrooms.
