In lieu of a second launch this month, Jorge Blanco is welcoming us into his home to celebrate his birthday (more or less) this Saturday (though his birthday is Monday) from 10AM to 2PM. There will be Chick-Fil-A nuggets, chips, soft drinks (non-diet!), and ice cream cake.

Why show up (aside from the food)?:

1. Silent Auction: Parachutes and Motor Cases.  A 29mm 60-12 is going to start at $20.  A 38 & 54mm cases (no closures will go for $30-50).  Parachutes up to 6 feet will be bargains.   A silent action is where an item for auction is placed where it can be inspected with a bid sheet.  Bidders write their name on the bid sheet and bid either the minimum (if no one else has bid) or $1 more than the prior high bid.  At the end of the action, the high bidder pays up and takes their item.
2. Free rockets.  I got a massive collection of expertly finished rockets from Leonard Boswell and a couple of other people.  He wants these rockets given away.  These are Mid through Clustered high power rockets.   One of the rockets to be given away is Steve Corrigal’s Bucky Jones….beautiful rocket!  Please take only what you can fly (if you have no high power certification, don’t take a rocket with a 54mm mount….your family will hate you)

Look for a large rocket in the front yard and/or the club banner.
