MASA had a very busy June & July! In June,
we had a meeting, the solstice launch, and the regional contest.
In July, we had a launch on the 4th, picnic and launch on the
18th, and another launch on the 25th!

NARAM 51: Starts this Saturday.
A handful of MASA members are heading to PA to attend.
-
NARAM 52 in 2010 will be held in Pueblo,
Colorado.
-
Planet: As always, Jeff welcomes content for future
issues, so send some articles his way!
-
A suggestion was made that MASA have business
cards printed with the club name and web site address on them.
Another suggestion was made to look into having a club banner
made.
-
Outreach. Several MASA members helped with
a cub scout outreach on Wednesday night. Over 100 rockets
were flown safely in only 90 minutes. Thanks to all who
volunteered!
Cardstock Fun!
For a meeting activity, Alan printed out piles of the free, 13mm
rocket designs from Art
Applewhite onto cardstock. We all spent about an hour
constructing Qubits, flying saucers, cones, pyramids, and such.
Everyone built two or three of these flying paper creations, and
took home several more to build later.
For those who couldn't make it, you can download the pdf files
from Art Applewhite's web site. If you like these paper
rockets, he also has larger versions available for sale.
