2025 Club Updates Meeting

[T.Weeks]

Hey fellow Rocketeers!

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.

First.. as a personal reminder.. everyone who wants to be able to fly HP 
rockets SHOULD remember to go out and update your annual TRA membership 
<https://www.tripoli.org/content.aspx?page_id=22&club_id=795696&module_id=699449> 
and/or NAR membership 
<https://www.nar.org/content.aspx?page_id=22&club_id=114127&module_id=667409>(s). 
(Bob and I just did ours :)

Second.. As recently discussed on our fbook group 
<https://www.facebook.com/groups/NRV.Rocketry/>.. 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).

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 events our 
calendar here <http://nrvr.org/calendar/>).

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 is here <http://nrvr.org/join-nrv-rocketry/>.
