Launch Reminder for Saturday, December 3rd, 2011 at 9:00 AM

On the top of the list, I want to personally thank all of you who attend our launches a very Happy and Safe Thanksgiving!

Here is what’s happening in South Florida Rocketry.

Vista View Park has confirmed for our December 3rd, 2011 launch date.

As you can see from our headline, the next BARS Launch will be on Saturday, December 3rd, 2011 starting at 9:00AM. I usually get there between 8:00AM and 8:30AM to setup the Tent, the Launch Equipment and Pads. Your help is appreciated.

Vista View Park allows us to fly 1/4A’s to G motors.

Our Ground Support Equipment includes custom 1-pad, 3-pad and 7-pad Launch Controllers, a Six Pad Rack with 1/8″, 3/16″ and 1/4″ Launch Rods and a Quad-Pod for those of you whose Mid Power Rockets need a Launch Rail or a 1/2″ Rod. We are covered for just about anything you can launch in our field.

Thank you to all of you who continue to donate to our Launch Fund. We will continue to offer a free Model Rocket Kit for a $10.00 or higher Donation. Your voluntary donations help cover our equipment and permit costs and it also allows us not to have to charge Club Dues or monthly per person flight fees which most Rocketry Clubs do.

All NAR and Vista View Park Safety Rules are in EFFECT! Let’s have a SAFE DAY!

Other South Florida Happenings

For any of you who ride a Motorcycle, the 2011 South Florida Toy Run is on Sunday December 11th which is less than 3 weeks away. The Toy Run is a yearly event that collects dollars and toys to benefit the Joe DiMaggio Children’s Hospital Foundation in Hollywood, Florida.

I did this for the first time last year and you cannot believe the positive energy produced by more than 40,000 people getting together just to be able to to help the Joe DiMaggio Children’s Hospital Foundation and in turn help thousands of children. It is an amazing day to experience.
