<p style="margin:0;padding:0;margin: 0; padding: 0; font-family: arial; font-size: 12pt; word-wrap: break-word;"> </p>
<p style="margin:0;padding:0;margin: 0; padding: 0; font-family: arial; font-size: 12pt; word-wrap: break-word;">Wow.. 2018 was a wild and crazy year for NRVR!!! We raised money to <strong>buy the trailer outright </strong>(!!.. plus raised enough the do some much needed upgrades too!), we were <strong>gifted a new wireless launch control system</strong> (thanks Bloom!). <strong>bought new HP pads</strong>.. but if that weren't enough blessings.. a sister VA-TRA club (SEVRA) sadly is spinning down.. and in the past 30 days has gifted NRVR a <strong>pro-grade PA system</strong>, a BIG ROCKET <strong>tri-beam uni/1515 away tower</strong>, and a super loud <strong>heads up alert horn system</strong>!</p>

<p style="margin:0;padding:0;margin: 0; padding: 0; font-family: arial; font-size: 12pt; word-wrap: break-word;">Wow.. we're in the big leagues now folks!</p>
<p style="margin:0;padding:0;margin: 0; padding: 0; font-family: arial; font-size: 12pt; word-wrap: break-word;"> </p>
<p style="margin:0;padding:0;margin: 0; padding: 0; font-family: arial; font-size: 12pt; word-wrap: break-word;">The only down side with all this cool stuff we've picked up this past year is that our trailer is so full now we're having to install wall to all shelving units!</p>

<p style="margin:0;padding:0;margin: 0; padding: 0; font-family: arial; font-size: 12pt; word-wrap: break-word;">It's been a really full year.. I want to personally thanks all those who really stepped up and really helped out the club out of several tight places.. from the buying of the trailer.. to the new wireless launch system.. and all the generous donations by club members and from our friends at SEVRA.</p>
<p style="margin:0;padding:0;margin: 0; padding: 0; font-family: arial; font-size: 12pt; word-wrap: break-word;">Thanks to everyone...</p>

<p style="margin:0;padding:0;margin: 0; padding: 0; font-family: arial; font-size: 12pt; word-wrap: break-word;">Rumor has it that we're loosing Pete (our Secretary/Treasurer, and friend) as he and his wife are moving back to NJ. :^( He says he'll still make it down for the occasional launch though, so we'll still see him now and then, so he's not gone forever :) But Pete leaving also means we'll be down the Secretary/Treasurer roles... The first of which is required by TRA be filled in our annual election. So if anyone is thinking about pitching in a little more.. <strong><em>we could use a hand in 2019!</em></strong> If anyone wants to try their hand at Prefect, President, or Secretary/Treasurer positions, all our elected positions (and the duties they each entail) are being voted on in this meeting and are listed here:</p>
