At this week's meeting, we had some information from and about some other organizations to pass along to our members:

• Arch Reactor Makerspace: Myles Farrell, Sergeant at Arms of Arch Reactor, has invited SLRA members to tour the makerspace. If interested, please email Myles at sergeantatarms@archreactor.org.
• Inventor Forge Makerspace: Philip Newell attended our meeting, representing Inventor Forge as well as St. Louis Space Frontier. Inventor Forge has an open house every Thursday evening at 6:00 pm, and St. Louis Space Frontier meets on the fourth Saturday of the month at Washington University.

• John Buckley provided information about next year's NARAM, which will be held from July 27th to August 3rd, 2019 at the International Aeromodeling Center near Muncie, Indiana. The pamphlet says that the event website is not set up yet, but you can check out the hosting clubs at http://www.nar.org/site/section703/ (Wright Stuff Rocketeers) and http://roci.indyrockets.org/ (Rocketeers of Central Indiana).

Reminder: the model rocket launch is ON for tomorrow at Buder Park, with setup at 9:00am and range open around 9:30am. The weather forecast still looks good, with cool temperatures and fairly light winds.

Our next model rocket launch is scheduled for this coming Saturday, September 29th at Buder Park. The current forecast is for partly cloudy skies, cool and breezy with a high of 70 F and 6-7 mph wind.

We'll start setup at 9:00 am and should have the range open by 9:30 if not earlier.

Due to weather and other factors, we have decided to cancel the scheduled model rocket launch tomorrow at Buder Park.

Our next model rocket launch is scheduled for this coming Sunday, September 9th at Buder Park. Unfortunately, it looks like Buder will be getting quite a bit of rain between now and then, as we have a cold front approaching from the west and the remains of tropical storm Gordon coming up from the south. If we have dry enough weather (and a dry enough field) to have a launch, the good news is that it will be nice and cool.

Set up time will be 9:00am, unless it looks like delaying an hour or two will give us better weather conditions. I will keep an eye on the forecast and send another announcement if we have to cancel.

If you have any questions, please email admin@stlouisrocketry.com.

Due to schedule conflicts, we need to move the next model rocket launch from Sunday September 2 to Sunday September 9.

Our current plan is to keep the following launch on its regularly scheduled date of Saturday September 29.

Our next model rocket launch is scheduled for this coming Saturday, July 28th at Buder Park. The current forecast is for mostly cloudy skies, light winds, and a high temperature of 81 - much better than last month! The rain that was previously forecast for Saturday afternoon appears to have been pushed to Sunday, but we'll still keep an eye on it.

We'll still start setup at 8:00 am and should have the range open by 8:30 if not earlier.
