May Meeting

[private e-mail address]

It's supposed to be windy all wwekend but MAYBE (accorcing to ADDS) the winds will be doable Monday night! May have to wait til 7 to launch but that will give us time to fly a bit, find a landing spot and still get time to get back and cover some important topics. If we meet at 6:00 we could take care of business while we wait for the wind to back off if nessacary.

There is a "retirement home" on Nifong (I think the old Nifong but I'm not sure) that has asked Gary Sines to bring a few balloons over for a launch that evening. I'm unsure exactly why or which Home it is (A little help here would be beneficial, Gary) but it would be a fun thing to attempt for as many as can fit into their yard. It's always fun to see kids faces around a balloon even if the kids are 90 years old! The long range forcast calls for winds from the SE so that would work fairly well from there it seems.

Lets plan on meeting at AC at 6:00 and work it out from there. I think SS is about 8:10 or so. Would you like to bring picnic stuff and meet at a park afterward or would an eating establishment that would be air conditioned be better? If the bugs don't carry us off the park may give us more freedom to discuss the price of gas, drink cheap adult beverages and shout at passing motorists but I leave that choice up to you!

Sincerely,

Herb

p.s. feel free to ask about Eldon's unpublished story of last Monday night, too.
