Hi Guys,<BR>
<BR>
Thanks for the email\update. <BR>
<BR>
We'd love to join, but will be out of town in late January. Can we mail the dues someplace? We'd like the family membership.<BR>
<BR>
Please advise.<BR>
<BR>
Thanks!<BR>

(replies, Q&A are on mail list nrvr@nrvr.org)<BR>> <BR>> New River Valley Rocketry is holding our first ever "membership meeting" on <BR>> Tuesday, Jan 29th from 6-9pm! That is.. we're inviting everyone in and around <BR>> the area to come check out what's going on with high power rocketry here in <BR>> the New River Valley and VT Aerospace! In short, we want to meet, greet and <BR>> eat with you all without having to watch out for falling rockets... AND share <BR>> some details about how we're planning on building something great right here <BR>> in the NRV! :)<BR>> <BR>> Meeting Info:<BR>> ===============<BR>> Tuesday January 29 from 6pm-9pm, <BR>> hosted by VT Aerospace Student Rocketry group. <BR>> Location: 1901 Innovation Dr., Suite 1000, Blacksburg, VA 24061<BR>> Map: http://goo.gl/maps/xcngx (in the CRC next to the VT airport)<BR>> <BR>> If you've been to a few of our launches, we DEFINITELY want to meet you, share <BR>> a slice of pizza and shake your hand! YOU ALL have helped us come this far, <BR>> and we're now ready to make it more official. We've also made some good <BR>> friends within the Virginia Tech Aerospace group, and thought you might <BR>> like to meet some of them and see what they're doing too!<BR>> <BR>> <BR>> Meeting Details:<BR>> ====================<BR>> As Bob previously said, the meeting is going to encompass a lot. This first <BR>> NRV Rocketry/VT meeting will include:<BR>> <BR>> -Cool & REALLY Cool high power rocketry flight videos from around the country<BR>> -Informal meet and greet time with pizza (during a rocketry slide show)<BR>> -Brief overview of the current state of hobby rocketry regarding: <BR>> -Model vs. high power<BR>> -Safety codes, insurance and regulations, <BR>> -Overview of model/high power rocket technologies, hardware, electronics<BR>> -Hands on high power rocket displays & related Q&A<BR>> -Vote of NRV Rocketry officers by new club members<BR>> -Upcoming launch details for February and April<BR>> -Free "door prizes" raffle for "valuable rocketry prizes"<BR>> <BR>> <BR>> Membership Costs and Benefits:<BR>> ==================================<BR>> Leveling with you, we really didn't want to charge membership fees at first, <BR>> but our wives were getting upset with us spending all this money on the club <BR>> and not them. :) Port-a-potties alone are $100/weekend (don't tell my wife!:) <BR>> That being said, we also didn't want to have to charge launch fees as most <BR>> rocket groups regularly do. So we settled on membership dues, figuring that <BR>> those of us who love the hobby the most are the ones who are most likely to <BR>> pitch in to ensure that dads and kids can ALWAYS come out and fly with us for <BR>> free. Nice idea eh? :)<BR>> <BR>> The annual membership fee is just $15 for individuals, $20 for families, and <BR>> free for students*! As indicated, the collected fees are to ensure that we can <BR>> continue launching in the New River Valley as they pay for necessities such as <BR>> our launch insurance and prefecture dues with the TRA, much needed big-launch <BR>> port-a-potties, launch signs, club banners, advertising, fire and safety gear <BR>> and other misc out of pocket club expenses.<BR>> <BR>> <BR>> NRVR Membership Benefits:<BR>> ==========================<BR>> Since this is our first ever meeting (that's not in the middle of a field <BR>> somewhere;), this is your chance to become a "Founding NRVR Member"! Annual <BR>> NRVR membership will get you:<BR>> -A very special "Founding Member" NRV Rocketry membership card<BR>> -A personalized forwarding email address (first.last@nrvr.org)<BR>> -Useful Rocket vendor discounts (can pay for your membership in 1yr!)<BR>> -"Cool-kid" flight card "scan-in" with your membership card at launches!<BR>> (Monta's idea. tweeks is still working on the technology.. but stay tuned!) <BR>> <BR>> Other plans for members could include:<BR>> -Input on out first club shirt and hat designs :)<BR>> -Group convoy trips to BIG national launches (LDRS, BALLS, etc)<BR>> -Future web-site wiki page access<BR>> <BR>> <BR>> Q1 of 2013:<BR>> =============<BR>> We're still ironing our the 2013 launch and meeting schedule, but right now <BR>> it's looking like an first three months! Just in Q1 of 2013, NRVR will have <BR>> two local launches and our big inaugural membership meeting! <BR>> <BR>> <BR>> So come on out to the NRV Rocketry meeting, hosted by VT Aerospace, and join <BR>> in on building something great here in the New River Valley!<BR>> <BR>> Your NRV Rocketry Officers,<BR>> ___<BR>> \ __\_________________________________________________________<BR>> | Your NRV Rocketry Officers, \<BR>> _|Bob Schoner - Dr. Kevin Schinpaugh - "Tweeks" - Monta Elkins ><BR>> |_____________________________________________________________/<BR>> /___/ <BR>> _______________________________________________<BR>> NRVR-Launches mailing list<BR>> NRVR-Launches@nrvr.org<BR>> http://nrvr.org/mailman/listinfo/nrvr-launches<BR></DIV> </div></body>
