Hopefully the forecasted temperature drops a bit, or I will probably need to
drop out, which would be too bad, because I have really been looking forward to
this. Do you have a deadline for prepayment, so I can keep an eye on the temps
a bit longer? I will buy the shirt I signed up for, even if I can’t pick it up
in person.
I cen’t stay for the night launch this time.
Thanks.

Hey Everyone,
I hope everyone is doing well and getting ready for our launch weekend!
Update:
- This launch is dedicated to James Marino - one of the greatest rocketeers
of all times and an Icon in the hobby.
James was actually nominated LCO Emeritus several times and as one of the
oldest standing members of the club,
his voice will be dearly missed this year as the best launch director and
rocketry mentor any of us ever had.
Make sure you sign up for the T-Shirts as they will have a special
recognition theme for him. By the way, the deadline will be this
Saturday as Rod extended it, please sign up here:

Prepay - normally, the 3 day weekend is $30 (that's $10/day, same we charge
at our monthly). For those of you who want to get a deal,
simply Paypal $25 to tcc@xxxxxxxxxx <mailto:tcc@xxxxxxxxxx>, and you will be
pre-registered for the whole weekend! Yep, a $5 savings for prepayment.
While you're there, you can also send your payment for the T-Shirt as well.
- We will start at 8:30am on Friday June 18th - please sign up for range duty
here and show up on time for range setup:

- We will have the usual waiver up to 17K all weekend! It is going to be
absolutely gorgeous out there and this will be one of the
greatest flying weekends ever!
- Gloria's Diner - Gloria is going to have a Taco bar for us all on Saturday
afternoon - I'm not sure if anyone has ever had
Gloria's tacos and special Hatch chili, but it is world class - please sign
up for lunch here so we can get a headcount:

Question - how many people want to have a night-launch? Normally, we do Dairy
Aire in May and it gets dark at 8 or so. Now it will be getting dark
at 8:30, so if we did a launch, would 9 or 10pm be too late for everyone on
Saturday night?
Thank you very much and more later ....
-James
