Next launch March 18th

It's been rainy..

So we will move our launch to March 18th at Horning #2 and hope things dry out by then. 

New Groupme App

During our annual meeting last January, we discussed the need to bring clear, accurate, and timely communication to the membership regarding the scheduling and details of upcoming events. We have, and will continue to utilize the JMRC email list, however, it is not necessarily timely and important information can get difficult to find in embedded messages.

The BOD has successfully tested a new communication channel that provides quick communication in a group chat with client support on Apple IOS and Android devices as well as a web portal. You can even use SMS texting. The product is called groupme which was recently purchased by Skype and is free for use. If you have used Skype then groupme will be familiar to you. For more information please check out their website, https://groupme.com/en-US/

Below is the invitation link to the JMRC Notification chat in groupme. The BOD will use this chat to send event/launch information and important changes and updates. Members should restrict their comments in the notification chat to events and launches. General discussion should remain on the Yahoo email list. When you click on the invitation you will be asked to login or create an account. Once you created an account you can set your preferences and will be entered into the chat. If you have any questions, comments, or suggestions please reply to this email.

We hope you find this useful.

Meeting and potluck January 14

Our annual meeting and potluck will be held on Saturday, January 14th, 12:00pm - 5:00pm, at the Grotto club in Jackson. The address is 102 E Washington Ave, in downtown Jackson. Park behind the building and come in through the backdoor. We will be upstairs.

Bring a dish to pass and if you have any extra parts that you could donate to our raffle that would be great. We will also be electing club officers for this year. 

There is a $5 charge per person.

What a Great Day!

 

We had a big crowd out for our October launch with over 70 flights heading into the breezy autumn sky!

A special thanks for those that helped out with setup and tear down.

Maintenance day September 10th

    Considering we don't as yet have a launch date for September (MIS is all booked up and Horning may or may not be available) we will have a maintenance day for the launch equipment on September 10th. So we need volunteers to come out to Roger's house to get things cleaned up and repaired. The JMRC mobile launch trailer needs work (new lights, roof sealed), equipment cleaned, new alligator clips soldered on and the big launch tower needs new springs. Probably do a little power washing as well.

    Lunch will be provided by the JMRC!

    We have flown A TON of rockets this year and it is important that we keep up with maintenance so we don't have problems at the field.

    So if you like to fly, please come on out and spend some time fixing things up. Many hands make light work and you get to hang out with all your rocket friends!

When:  Saturday September 10th, 10:00am - 5:00

Where: Roger Sadowsky's house, 4788 Moon Lake Rd. Jackson
