It’s that time of year folks! If you’ve ever wondered about the “behind the scenes” of your club, wanted to become more involved in club decision making, simply want to “pay it forward” or just want to learn more about rocketry then consider self-nominating for a seat on the ROC Board of Directors.

There are three full term (three year) Director seats up for election this year. Any adult ROC member in good standing can self-nominate by writing a Statement of Self-Nomination. Make sure to include a photo. Please send to:  Xenonrocket@gmail.com  The deadline for self-nomination is August 31st, 2021 at 11:59 PM. Ballots will be cast electronically via the Wild Apricot Membership Portal from September 19th through 11:59pm October 31st. Results of the election will be announced during the Annual Members Meeting November 13th, 2021 at ROCstock. If elected, your annual club fees are waived.
Please consider running for a Board of Director seat. It’s a great way to become more involved and have fun while making a difference in the hobby we all love so much!

Hello All.
Since I forgot to include the following important detail in the announcement, anyone who has signed up to become a member as of today, March 17th, 2021 you will receive a link to register for the April Launch.  Link will be sent out on March 26th.  If you become a member AFTER March 17th, 2021 then you will be able to attend all future launches.  I apologize for the confusion and leaving out this important detail.
