GENERAL INFORMATION 
FAST members are persons or entities who care deeply about Morgan County and the role of arts, sciences and technologies in the lives of County residents. By paying annual dues of just $5/household, FAST members help generate funds for important projects throughout the County. Members receive periodic newsletters and other educational materials as set by the Board of Directors, and they elect Directors at the annual meeting of the Corporation in May.
Many FAST projects involve mixtures of arts, sciences, technologies and social studies that interact to give a richer experience and understanding of events in our daily lives. We can consider computer technology in making music, art and photography or the math and physics of acoustics, resonance or dance. Each person’s curiosity can enjoy seeing how systematic measures of basic science can give better understanding of the processes in our daily technology of water and food supply and in communication. The community becomes richer as individuals share their ideas and insights.
Overall, FAST supports the goal of Benjamin Franklin who started in 1743 the country's first forum where people could communicate their records and interpretations of "all philosophical Experiments that let Light into the Nature of Things, tend to increase the Power of Man over Matter, and multiply the Conveniences or Pleasures of Life."
