Pot Luck and Rocket Launch on Saturday, May 29

Folks will start showing up at noon, Saturday, May 29 for the annual Memorial Day weekend feast. This year's fun will include geocaching (A genuine IGLOO is hidden on Arunah Hill!) and rocket building and launch. I've got a bunch of kits, should be plenty for all. We'll do the potluck dinner around 6:30 PM. No fried turkey this year, but I might just try barbequeing one.

The rocket launchs will be introduce a new competition: Keep the rocket in the air for 50 seconds exactly, and try to land it on the Gaertner Building. Lose one point for each second short or long, and deduct 1 point for each "Pielock Length" from the observatory. Loose 10 points for parts that fall off your rocket, you get disqualified if your rocket ends up in a tree.

Up to 3 launchs per team!

Any questions? Just email me: efaits@comcast.net
