Officer's reports 1. Treasurer 2. Secretary 3. Promotions Director 4. Equipment Manager 5. Launch Director 6. Range Safety 7. Tripoli Prefecture 8. NAR Section 3. Launch reports 1. Garden Home 2. School team reports 3. Arliss/XPRS/Balls - any members do anything there? 4. Launch planning 1. Filible's Folly 2. Rocketober 3. NSLW27 5. New Business 6. Closing In closing, I'll remind everyone that earlier this month when I sent out the meeting minutes for September I noted a couple places we have some volunteering opportunities that desperately need to be filled, which I have had absolute crickets in response to, they are: 1. I need a volunteer (or several) to run registration for Rocketober this year as I have a scheduling conflict and can no longer attend the launch. This is a pretty well oiled process at this point. 2. November 7th is the Girl Scout STEM day event in Salem, we are in need of a couple volunteers to help the scouts make and fly straw rockets. Two of our usual volunteers (my wife and I) have a conflict and cannot attend this year, and our third normal volunteer lately may not be able to as well. I need to know in the next two weeks so I can schedule lunches with them, or we'll need to pull out at the last minute.

Begin forwarded message: From: STEFAN JONES via Members <members(a)oregonrocketry.org> Date: September 8, 2026 at 8:43:55 AM PDT To: Oregon members <members(a)oregonrocketry.org> Subject: [OROC Members] Garden Home BONUS launch, September 12th Reply-To: STEFAN JONES <stefan_jones(a)comcast.net> With Sheridan postponed until the beginning of October, we decided to have a BONUS Garden Home model rocket launch, 10 am - 1 pm, Saturday September 12th. Current forecast: Cool, 20% chance of rain. No or low wind. Setup at 9:30 am. As always, help appreciated for setup and tear-down. George Rachor will bring the pad and other gear. I'm bringing a couple of tables, my pop-up canopy, and a big bin of leftover models from the Silent Auction. I've been refurbishing and finishing these and will have a new batch to show off. I suggest bringing a canopy if you have one. As usual, we limit flights to 500' or under; this means A - B motors for modest sized kits. Please consult the launch crew before you fly staged or clustered flights. _______________________________________________ Members mailing list -- members(a)oregonrocketry.org To unsubscribe send an email to members-leave(a)oregonrocketry.org List info & management: https://mailman2.blastzone.org/postorius/lists/members.oregonrocketry.org Archives: https://mailman2.blastzone.org/hyperkitty/list/members.oregonrocketry.org/
