First - if this is the first email you have received from the club, I apologize. I just detected that only a portion of our registered users were receiving email. I believe I have the problem resolved. If you read this on the web site and didn't get an email, please contact me at heyno@heino.com to get it resolved.

The Science Center event was a big success and thanks to those who helped at the event, and those who couldn't make it but offered models for the display. We had great participation from the public, distributed all 60 models in 5 raffle drawings from 10 am to 2 pm, and talked to many members of the public who were at the Planetarium. There were lots of smiles, lots of excitement on the range, and a lot of good will distributed. I personally had a blast, and I hope everyone else did also. I'll have a much more detailed post with some pictures and some video later today.

We received our t-shirts, polo shirts, and hats also during the day and distributed some of them to those who were at the event. We also sold some to the public. I have a list of those who picked items up and it is available at this link for members who are on the web site: clothing list posts in the forum.

For those who picked up items, please check the 2 pdf's in the forum (original sign up sheet and spreadsheet and verify the number of items and size that you picked up. I've figured out the costs, but we still need to verify the prices. Hold off on payment until I verify the prices are the correct ones. I only have listed the names of those who picked their items up at the event.  I'll add the others who have requested items and weren't at the event after I verify the member's who picked up items.

The t-shirt, polo, and hat are awesome and we had many comments on how nice they are. They are going to be offered to the public as well. Look for more details on getting your own logo item. Thanks to Dan Welling for leading the effort to get the logo items before the Science Center Event and Rob Chapie for helping out also. Our members really were visible to everyone at the launch and that will also be a great at our upcoming launches too.

Here are some pictures.
