Final Call: The Launch is a GO!
The forecast for Saturday looks a bit breezy, but we should be able to launch. 
 
Bring anchors for your canopy... Flashlights and head lamps, and possibly a jacket if your staying after dark.
Night launch this month...  The waiver has been approved.
We will have to keep an eye on the winds, but being we are flying low it should be good enough.
 
The new signup sheet for volunteers is up and running.  ;)
