Hi all,

We had a great two day launch for the end of the season. COSROCS joined us for the launch on Saturday. Many students joined us both days. There were 10 successful level 1 certs and 5 unsuccessful. There were over 70 flight cards. Saturday was great weather for flying a little windy now and then. Sunday was perfect all day!

Thanks to everyone for turning out. And to all those who help set-up and tear down. Special thanks to Terry Hibbs for delivering and storing the launch equipment trailer. It is always there and ready to go on launch day! Thanks Terry Lee for all your help and bringing the tower trailer when needed.

We will have our annual meeting sometime in January and of course The All Colorado Rocketry Dinner and Endless Raffle in February. Please stay tuned in for dates on those and plan on joining us for both.
