The St. Louis Astronomical Society joined other area organizations to donate used solar glasses to Astronomy Without Borders (AWB).  AWB will recycle the glasses to South America and Asia for use by school children in future total eclipses.  More than 20 volunteers worked together on October 6-7, 2017 to quality check and pack over 23,000 solar glasses for donation to the program. St. Louis County Library donated space at their Grand Glaize Branch.   The glasses were delivered to Explorer Scientific in Springdale, Arkansas where they will be stored until needed.
