On Saturday November 16th, from 10 am – 6 pm, the St. Louis Challenger Learning Center (CLC) will be celebrating it’s 10-year anniversary. CLC Director Tasmyn Scarl Front has invited us to participate by putting on a static display and hands-on activity. My thought for the activity is a paper helicopter building session/flight duration competition. I will be providing rocket kits to give away for the competition prizes. Let me know if you would be interested in helping out. it should be lots of fun! My contact information is: email-kovardad@gmail.com phone – (314) 296-3171

The Challenger Learning Center is located out by Lambert Airport at 205 Brotherton Lane
St. Louis, MO 63135

Happy Rocketeering!

Here is the text of an email that I received today from Tasmyn Front (Director of the Challenger Learning Center)

Thank you all for agreeing to be a part of our November 16th Celebration Day event. As a reminder, the event will last from 10 am – 5 pm. We are suggesting that people plan on arriving here at 9 am so you can get set up.

We will be having many of the activities take place in the high school next door, including our portable planetarium, rocket workshops and all of our participating organizations. FYI–There is a chance that the high school (McCluer South-Berkeley) will have a playoff game that day, in which case the parking lot will most likely get very full. We have made arrangements for overflow parking at the church (Our Lady of Guadalupe) as well as the Schnucks located just West of Brotherton with a shuttle to pick people up at those locations.

I am attaching a flyer, which is also available here: http://www.clcstlouis.org/10-year-anniversary to the anniversary events, and if you can help spread the word about it we would be very appreciative.

We will plan on having a table and 2 chairs for each of you (besides the MySci, the flight simulator trailer from the AMA, and the Science Center’s EVie).

We will provide lunch for all of you, so if you could please confirm how many people will be here for each organization, that would be helpful.

In addition, if you could please email me a cell phone number that we can get a hold of you on the day of that would be helpful as well. My cell phone number is (314) 541-6036.

If you have any questions or need additional information, please let me know.

I look forward to seeing you all here on the 16th.

Please email me at apollo45th@gmail.com if you would like to help out. You can also call me at (575) 312-2893. SLRA will be putting on a static rocket display and paper helicopter building session during this event.

Happy Rocketeering!
