Now is the time to help the club continue to operate by giving of yourself. To show your support come to the launches and help with the tasks of setting up, tearing down and loading of the equipment. Volunteer to retrieve rockets. Spend some time in helping the RSO, LSO and Safety personnel. Learn about the functioning of the club duties. It takes time and energy to do these things and the old crew is wearing down with age and soon will not be physically able to continue.

Lets make this the best year yet - Get involved and Enjoy the Hobby.

Dues for 2017 will remain at $20 and this includes launch fees for the year. If you paid dues in 2016 they will carry over to 2017
Non-members will have a $5 launch fee for model rockets and a $10.00 fee for HP Rockets, 1st time fliers are free.
Children 16 and under free.


HAPPY 2017
