I too want to thank everyone who helped out at the launch, even in the smallest
way. We are all in this together, with the same goals, to have a fun and
successful launch. Those of you who volunteered for the first time, thank you
for stepping forward. It does get easier with time.
We are excited about the new home for our trailer and are certain this move
will be a benefit to everyone.
Congratulations to all those who had successful L1 and L2 launches, and welcome
to our new ROC members.
I am looking forward to a fantastic year of launching in 2013.
Veni Van Norman
ROC President
