[NRV Rocketry] NRV Rocketry November & December launches and calendar of events

[Kelly Brennan]

Thanks for the newsy and informative email.  Sounds like great plans for the 21st and 4th, but we will be unable to attend either due to prior commitments.  Bummer, but we have had a great 2015 and we send many thanks and well wishes.
Kelly and Anna

#yiv8074821329 p, #yiv8074821329 li {white-space:pre-wrap;}Hey fellow Rocketeers!Bob is getting some needed rest and asked me to send this out. As we wind down our calendars on 2015 we want to first off  thank everyone for their help, support, and your contributions of time, financial help, encouragement and energy this year! We hope you all enjoy what NRV Rocketry offers our small community in the way of regular STEM events. If you're not yet supporting NRV Rocketry through membership, think about enrolling you or your family for 2016 here http://nrvr.org/membership/ (student membership is FREE!)So here's what we have planned for the rest of 2015. November 2015:We have one more launch scheduled for 2015:o November 21, Afternoon launch + Meeting + Night LaunchThis Saturday will be a 1 day launch with a membership meeting and a night launch.  o Launch starting at 12:00 noon o Range shutdown from 5:00 to 6:00 for membership meeting and dinner o NRVR will provide pizza, so please let us know if you are planning on  being there! o Night launch will starts at 6:00 and go until 8:00 weather permitting* If the launch gets called for weather* then we will try to schedule a  meeting/get together for some time in November or December.  o MEMBER VOLUNTEERS please sign up for various launch help-positions here: LAUNCH VOLUNTEER SIGNUP --> https://goo.gl/SOZahk * NOTE: Weather permitting means, no winds over 15 mph, steady rain, or very wet field conditions. Based on the weather forecast we will make a call on the night launch by noon that day. If we DO the night launch, it will end at 8pm. If we do not, then the members meeting will end around 6pm. December 2015o No Launch in December: With the general business of December we feel that a rocket launch will not be that well staffed or attended. If you feel differently and really want to launch rockets in December, please let one of the officers know soon.o Outreach: Anyone Interested in a NRVR Float in the Bburg Christmas Parade?: Several of us have talked about having a presence in the Blacksburg Christmas parade. If we wanted to be in the Blacksburg Christmas parade (Friday Dec 4) how many of you would be interested and willing to participate?** Bob was envisioning a one or two big rockets on a flat bed decorated with Christmas lights with our banner, and maybe get some inexpensive, foam finger-rockets with a rubber band that we can flip into the crowd. We could put our URL on them and maybe have some ½ or ¼ page info sheets to give out to people who are interested. **IF INTERESTED IN HELPING DO THIS, TELL US NOW AT officers(at)nrvr.org Please contact us and share your thoughts on this and what YOUR ideas are for doing something like this. We think it would be great for getting more community exposure, membership and club participation.. but we can't do this sort of thing alone. See you at the launch!NRV Rocketry Officers
