Friends of PARI is a dedicated group of volunteers who contribute their time, energy and talents to help PARI fulfill its mission. 

Friends of PARI members assist with various programs conducted on the PARI campus and serve as docents for the weekly two-hour tours that provide visitors an overview of the site, its history and the work being done at PARI.  Friends of PARI members also developed and help maintain the Galaxy Walk, a popular educational attraction.

Each September members are invited to the Friends of PARI Annual Meeting and Symposium, an evening of fun, food, education and recognition of distinguished supporters and special friends. 

Anyone contributing financial to PARI automatically becomes a Friends of PARI member.  Membership levels range from Student ($10) to Benefactor ($5000).  Complete details and instructions for joining are found on the PARI web site, www.pari.edu.

Current Friends of PARI officers include:
•    Thurburn Barker, president
•    Dave Adams, vice president
•    Gil Knight, secretary-treasurer
