Hey fellow Rocketeers!
<div class="moz-forward-container">
<p>It's been a while! I hope you all had a great Christmas and
Happy New Year.. and are staying safe in all this ice we've had
tonight. <br>
</p>
<p>First.. as a personal reminder.. everyone who wants to be able
to fly HP rockets SHOULD remember to go out and update your
annual <a
href="https://www.tripoli.org/content.aspx?page_id=22&club_id=795696&module_id=699449"
moz-do-not-send="true">TRA membership</a> and/or <a
href="https://www.nar.org/content.aspx?page_id=22&club_id=114127&module_id=667409"
moz-do-not-send="true">NAR membership</a>(s). (Bob and I just
did ours :)</p>
<p>Second.. As recently discussed on our <a
moz-do-not-send="true"
href="https://www.facebook.com/groups/NRV.Rocketry/">fbook
group</a>.. we have some updates to share about fields we've
explored and checked out in 2024.. discussions I've had with
Tripoli and other clubs, and have options to discuss for 2025
that we would like to discuss with club members. It's not all
doom and gloom through.. while 2024 was "a dry spell" for us..
I've found that we have more friends in the media and space
industry than I realized.. and it's motivated us to take a step
back, talk to others outside NRVR about options, and seek some
outside help in getting us a place to fly rockets again. Good
stuff. I'm just sorry that I have not been able to share this
with everyone before now (as there is some politics involved).<br>
</p>
<p>For the good of the club, and to bring you all into the
discussion, we're planning to hold a club meeting on Thur Jan
23rd. More details to be shared as we get closer (see this mail
list and on our <a moz-do-not-send="true"
href="http://nrvr.org/calendar/">events our calendar here</a>).
<br>
</p>
<p>In the mean time, I'm not asking everyone to re-up your NRVR
membership (i.e.g pay 2025 member dues).. but if you DO want to
support us in moving forward.. that's one way to demonstrate
this, as it would help keep us from financially dipping below
our minimum bank account balance (where they start bleeding us
dry with fees). If that is of interest to you, the NRVR
membership form <a moz-do-not-send="true"
href="http://nrvr.org/join-nrv-rocketry/">is here</a>.</p>
