Extra Lunch (downtown sort-of): Thursday June 11th

11:30 am, Thursdays on First/Third downtown, at the tables by the Half Barrel (based on maps, I think this is where Billotti's used to be, on 3rd Avenue SW).


Rocket building, round 2: Friday June 19th

At the Rabbit Hole. $10 for a rocket building kit, first come first serve. The exact launch date (plus cookout party) hasn't been announced yet, it's anticipated to be a weekend day in July.


=== Technical Meeting: Thursday June 11th ===

Extra social: Wednesday June 10th

We don't have a speaker, so we'll go play outside instead. Note we're one day early, to take advantage of the $2/person discount. Assuming there isn't some tricky math, that's $4/round/person. This is a cash-only facility. 6 pm - minigolf at Skyline Raceway.
