April 8th SLRA Buder Park Sport Launch

Posted on by

The April 8th SLRA Buder Park Sport Launch was well attended by eleven SLRA members and and a local youth group of 10 kids with rockets in hand and ready to fly. It was a great day for launching rockets with sunny skies and light to moderate winds out of the east. 57 rockets were launched by LCO Dave Pape: Youth Group - 9, Dan Crank - 2, *Gideon Hanson - 2, *Ian Hanson - 2, Charles Barnett - 3, *Dennis Thompson - 5, Dave Kovar - 6, Glen Arens - 7, Doug Probst (The Tall Guy in the White Hat) - 10, and Chris Lagemann - 13. The most spectacular flight of the day was Glen Arens' Red Max. The greatest accomplishment of the day......No rockets landing in trees or water hazards. *=New SLRA Member

Location for January SLRA Meeting

At the November SLRA meeting, a motion was made, seconded, and approved to move the SLRA meetings to the Sunset Hills Bandana’s restaurant.  I contacted the Bandana’s corporate office and was informed they now require a $300 minimum on food/drink purchase for use of their basement space. At an average food/drink cost of $20/person, we would need a minimum of 15 members in attendance to achieve the $300 minimum purchase requirement.  

Let me know where you think we should have our January SLRA meeting:

1- Return to Olympia 

2 - Rose Barrel (Baldwin: Clayton Rd & Kehrs Mill Rd) – No charge, good food/drink and nice banquet room

3- Fallon's (Olive & I-170) – No charge, good food/drink and enclosed banquet room

4 - Bandana's at Sunset Hills

5 - Other

Whichever one receives the most votes is where we have our next meeting 

Deadline for input is December 29th

Looking forward to hearing your thoughts 

Secretary Dave
