Notes from Tuesday’s (10/8/2013) General Membership Meeting

Posted on October 10, 2013 by slra-admin

We had approximately 10 members in attendance.

1. Dan Welling has talked to the Elsberry landowner and believes it will be difficult for the crops to be out by our first launch date - October 19th. At this point it is more likely that we will be flying on October 26th which is also scheduled as the October Fly contest. Watch the web site for more info.

2. Ken Gianino researched the steps to incorporate the club and the membership voted to proceed. We needed 3 officers for the incorporation and Heino Pull, Dan Welling, and Rob Chapie volunteered. Ken Ginanio is acting as registered agent for the incorporation. This will be filed with the state of Missouri with a small fee. With this step, there should be greater protection for club members and club officers over any legal issues. We all must continue to be vigilant that we follow all the rules as required by NAR and Tripoli insurance and to protect our launch locations. We will be looking at our current bylaws since this is a requirement for incorporation.

3. Dave Kovar reported on the status of the Apollo 45th anniversary event with Gene Kranz at the Science Center. The club will be asked to help on both Friday and Saturday around May 15th. On both days we will need members to help with a middle school age student launch contest on Friday and a possible public build event at the Planetarium on Saturday. Since Friday is a workday we want to get the word out so that we can get as much help as possible. Gene will be giving several presentations and it will be a great way to celebrate the legacy of Apollo 11. Dave also reported on the Challenger Center's 10th Anniversary celebration on Saturday November 15th which we have also been asked to support. There will be a launch of some and educational activities happening that day. Dave is the contact for the event and look for more details on how we can help support the Center.

4. John Buckley reported on October Fly. The contest is on for the October 26 and 27 at Elsberry. NAR members are encouraged to attend. John will be posting status of the launch.
