Passing this on to the club from Dave (Heino)

Just wanted to let everyone know that I will probably not be at the meeting tonight. If nominated I would accept the position as Vice President of SLRA. I would continue to seek opportunities for participation in public outreach events, particularly those related to education events that promote both high and low power model rocketry. Hopefully through this time of involvement we increase awareness of SLRA which will ultimately lead to increased membership. I look forward to the social interaction as well at our launch events at Buder, Ellsberry, and beyond.

Prior to the meeting, I hope to send our notes from the Apollo 11 Planning meeting that Ken and I attended yesterday at the Science Center. The big item is that we moved the Precision Duration competition to Saturday and are inviting local area organizations that have a focus on exposing middle school age youth to science related activities. I am currently focusing on inviting area Boy and Girl Scout troops from both Illinois and Missouri. That means the Thursday event will be pretty easy to staff since we will only be doing the scale model launch demonstration and Apollo 11 launch reenactment from 10:00 - 10:45. We are also looking at having a static display on Saturday as well but that depends on how much additional support we get to help out with the Precision Duration Competition.

Heino, please pass this email along to the other SLRA members I do not have email addresses for.

Happy Rocketeering!
