You're the first to reply to the query of holding a meeting or not. Please have your students contact me ASAP (I'll also poll them directly) and then we can get the ball rolling and reserve the room and make the announcement.</div>

<p class="x_MsoNormal" style="font-size:1rem">Thinking ahead to October I have been thinking about some kind of fun competition I’m calling OMG launch (oh my gourd). Simple closest to the target competition.<u class=""></u><u class=""></u></p>
<p class="x_MsoNormal" style="font-size:1rem"> 4” diameter and up must launch with a mini pumpkin. The mini pumpkin must recover with a parachute. Non-deployment or loss of chute is disqualified. Gourd does not need to deploy at apogee.<u class=""></u><u class=""></u></p>
<p class="x_MsoNormal" style="font-size:1rem"> Smaller diameter rockets must carry a Candy Corn pumpkin which must be recovered with a streamer.<u class=""></u><u class=""></u></p>

<p class="x_MsoNormal" style="font-size:1rem">Prizes are still TBD, but at a minimum will be a rocket or something cool. Let me know if you have any ideas or donations.<u class=""></u><u class=""></u></p>
<p class="x_MsoNormal" style="font-size:1rem">Also considering a night launch in October. Sunset is 6:30 on the date of our October launch 10/26.<u class=""></u><u class=""></u></p>

<p class="x_MsoNormal" style="font-size:1rem">TARC teams – the clock is ticking. If you are interested in TARC competition you should be finishing up your rocket design and doing test flights to see how your simulations compare to actual altitudes. Many teams
don’t launch before Thanksgiving and then hope to launch in January, February or March. Even in April the weather is unpredictable and your launch opportunities could be limited. If you need help getting started, let one of us know. There are many experienced
people who would be happy to help answer your questions and give advice.<u class=""></u><u class=""></u></p>
