The annual JMRC club meeting and potluck dinner will be on Saturday, February 3, 2024 from 1:00pm to 5:00pm at the Freedom Township Hall, 11508 E Pleasant Lake Rd, Manchester, MI. This is not far from the Horning #1 field. The hall will be open to us at 12:00pm so come on over anytime after.
This will be a potluck dinner so please bring a dish to pass or if you rather not bring something please consider donating $5 per person. Please see the signup sheet at:

From there you can RSVP and select what you would like to bring. There is a kitchen at the hall if you need to prepare something.

 
We will also be electing club officers for the year. All current officers have offered to stay on for another year but if you would like to nominate someone, including yourself, for any of the positions please send an email to bod@jmrc.org. Voting will take place at the meeting but an electronic ballot can be sent to you if you would like to vote but can't attend.

 
We will be discussing what our plans will be for 2024 so if you have any suggestions please bring it up.

 
We also will be having our raffle and auction but we will need donations. If you have some extra stuff in your rocket shop please bring it along and we will add it to the prize table. If you have any bigger ticket items you would like to donate we will auction it off. Highest bid wins! The auction and raffle has always been a big club fundraiser and allows us to keep our equipment in good order and pay our expenses (like porta-johns and insurance).  So please be generous!

 
And..
Our famous White Elephant gift exchange! If you would like to participate please bring one wrapped gift, often less than $15 value and will will go over the rules at the party. This has been lots of fun in the past.

 
See you there!
