Location for January SLRA Meeting

Posted on December 24, 2022 by David Kovar

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

2022 SLRA Spooktacular Night Launch Event

Posted on October 30, 2022 by David Kovar

The 2022 SLRA Spooktacular event was a BIG success. What a great turnout. We even had youth show up fully costumed. My favorite was the walking inflatable T-Rex. Thanks to all who made it a smashing success!!! HUGE Kudos to Dave Pape for LCOing the entire evening. Big SHOUT-OUT as well to those who assisted with the youth Take it/Fly it rockets, the Hot Dog grilling feast and put-up/take-down of the launch equipment. Also, a BIG THANKS to Shawn Faulkingham for providing the generator so we could have a lit pavilion. I'm looking forward to seeing the photos and videos taken by Fred Cronenwett (GLSMA President) and Carmelo Turdo (Aero Experience). If you have pictures, please send them to me so I can get them posted on our website (secretary@stlouisrocketry.com). The photo below was taken by Carmelo Turdo during the Apollo 17 50th Anniversary Commemoration Launch Reenactment Event.
