Rocket launch this Dec 16-17 2006, weekend

Everyone:

The December Launch is a go at Williams Farm this coming weekend Dec 16th and 17th.

We will be awarding Contest prizes at the launch, congrats to the winners, Doc should have the results posted shortly to the website.

I know it is the holiday season and we are all very busy, however, give yourself a little break and come out if not for just a little bit.

We will have Estes rocket kit give-a-ways. Anyone willing to donate a kit for the giveaway please bring to the launch.

We will have a Christmas card for the Williams family so please come by and sign it.

Also the 2007 membership drive is continuing, please renew or join in.

We will start the launch at 11:00AM to extend the day.
So we will be running the launch from 11:00AM to 5:00PM each day.
Setup is at 10:30AM.

Vendors:
Saturday : Ken Allen from Performance Hobbies (CALL HIM ASAP FOR ORDERS) and Tim Derbin from Giant Leap (See Tim's recent information on the website)
Sunday: Tim Derbin from Giant Leap

We will have the Porta-A-Jon at this launch, please come out to support the Porta-Jon.

We need as many people as we can to make our flyer fee goal. Last month we had a lot of flyers and met our goal. We need everyone and their donations so please contribute if you fly. At least try to make it out for a little bit.
Remember our recommended donation is $8.00-$10.00 per flyer per day, families with lots of young flyers maybe a $10.00 donation would be good. Again, these are recommendations not harden rule. The requested weekend land fee from the land owner is $250, so we need everyone to drop a little something in the jar.

Anyone needing to certify, please contact me ahead of time. Todd Haring or Terry Baucom can arrange to have the Level 2 NAR test delivered to the field and we can have others administer the test.

Anyone wanting to run for club officers please step up. If we have enough nominees will we hold a straw vote in January with positions to take effect immediately in January.
There will be a short meeting each day at 3:00pm to discuss nominations for ROCC club officers for 2007, Please, please volunteer to help! Myself, Roy and Steve have been towing the line for a long, long time.
Would there be any interest in having another NAR contest as early as the Feb launch, we need to finalize what contest we want. (Bob B, if you could make a recommended list, that maybe a good start.)

We also need to discuss schedules and hopefully get started on a 2007 summer flying site.
