Trailer Cleaning Dates for 2012

Hello ROC Folks:

Time to drag out those new 2012 calendars and start marking important dates!  We know you’ve been eagerly awaiting this, so here is the 2012 schedule of trailer and equipment cleaning events:

2012 Trailer Cleaning Schedule (all on Saturdays from 9 AM to 4 PM):

• January 28
• February 25
• May 5           ***** note changed date *****
• October 6

The first one is not far off — Mark your calendar — Saturday, January 28, 2012, starting at 9:00 am, we will be holding a trailer cleaning event to re-organize the contents of the trailer, repair any broken equipment, and generally get everything in good shape for the new year ahead.  It’s a great opportunity to give back to the club, and to shoot the bull with all your rocket buddies.  We can use all the help we can get, so please put this on your calendar and join the fun!

The location, as always, is the home of Leslie and Scott Mayer, in Oak Hills.  If you’ve never been there before, please contact us for directions.

Lunch will be provided by ROC, and everyone is invited.  Feel free to bring friends, relatives, and a willingness to lend a hand.  Work gloves are encouraged, as we’ll be hauling all of the launch equipment out of the trailer to clean and repair it, and gloves can make that easier.  If you have special expertise, such as with electrical repair or machining, bring that too!  There is no shortage of deferred maintenance to take care of.  (If you spend an hour cleaning launch rails, you’ll never fly another sparky motor again! ;-) )
