14,000. We are going to hit 14,000 outreach contacts as a part of the astronomy club's outreach program. The previous high was 6000 for the Venus Transit in 2008. In 2010, before I was an active member, they did 3000... FOR THE YEAR.

Next year we are going to start earlier than normal and bust our ass to hit 20K. That is 3,000 people a month looking through the telescopes for the six months of summer, plus a little bit extra.
