The Board does not run the club. The Board helps to run the club. Officially, ROC is a non-profit corporation in California directed by elected officials, but really it just the same as it was from the beginning. A group of people that share a common interest and passion for rocketry and willingness to help kids and other people that want to get involved with rocketry. A club. *The trailer cleaning meetings are an important part of the club because without these meetings things would not run smoothly (and safely) at the launches.* Fortunately, ROC has grown to a point where it helps many people. Like all the Scouts we are expecting at ROCtober. However, it will not survive if only a small group of people are the only ones helping run the club. Sorry, if I'm making a sharp point on this. So, if you love ROC and can help at the trailer cleaning meetings or running the launches by volunteering, you need to do it. We should all be proud to be members of ROC. Thank you, Richard Dierking
