All,
The ROC Board has met and has made the hard decision to cancel ROCstock. Unfortunately, the rain overnight has made the lakebed unsafe to pass with standing water at the road entrances and very soft in other areas. The other deciding factor is that per our BLM permit we must provide facilities when holding an event such as our launches and our facilities provider can’t safely deliver either. See their reply to us regarding delivery below.
Since we will not be able to hold our annual membership meeting at the launch, we will be holding an online election process to vote for the three candidates who submitted their self-nominations for the three open Board of Director seats.
A message to members will be going out soon with the details. After the election we will announce the results via an online (Zoom) meeting or at the December launch.
Also, we will be coordinating with BLM and the FAA in regard to holding ROCstock in December. No guarantees but we will be working on it.
We apologize for this inconvenience and hope to see everyone in December.
Gary Schneider
ROC President
