All,

The South Morrow County 4H Rocket Club (SMoRC) is holding its winter
launch this Saturday in Heppner, OR. Our family plans to go and take
advantage of the beautiful weather they expect and SMoRC's 10,000 foot
altitude waiver! This is where you can launch the big ones, folks! Our
family plans to launch the newly refurbished KnitWit (my daughter's
monstrous knitted rocket) at this launch on an I345 motor! I hope you can
join us. Details are on the SMoRC site: <http://www.wyrdchao.net/VAB/4h/>.

Regards,

Glenn
