I would agree--paying people is not optimal, I was just responding to the thead. It would seem that most people want to leave things as they are, and I bow to the majority.

(Although with $7,000 in the TCC bank that is not such a bad idea). My point was to charge a higher launch fee for those who choose not to help either set up or take down. My good friend Richard's view of the natural tendency of people to volunteer is not as optimistic as mine.

We don't need to beat ourselves up, nor make excuses. Everyone has helped more than their fair share at one point or another..... I will state again that NO money other than the $20 allowed for the individual that hauls the trailer should be paid out. Otherwise I think it opens up new problem areas. Like Jack said, it's a volunteer organization. So, not everything works perfectly. You know who works the hardest? That little Powell kid! The rest of us just need to suck it up. (And sign up on the trailer schedule).

Lunar has a raffle drawing for those who help clean up and pack their trailer, and seems to get alot of help that way. -----Original Message----- From: JACK GARIBALDI <JackGaribaldi@xxxxxxx> To: tccrockets <tccrockets@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> Sent: Tue, Jul 19, 2011 9:38 am Subject: [tccrockets] Re: Equipment Trailer I also want to thank Jimmy, Rob and Jim Norton everyone left and left those 3 guys to put all the equipment away, so next month we have to come up with a plan so more people have to stay and help put things away and set up.

I also recharged all the relay batteries so we should be good for a couple of months. Jimmy F. TRA 12524
