[LUNAR Announce:] LUNAR Rocket Launch Event at Snow Ranch - Important Details!

[Rocket Supplies]

Dear LUNAR Members,

The Hollister launch at Brigantino Park has been replaced by the Snow Ranch
launch this month.

Please join us at Snow Ranch! It is beautiful and worth the drive, plus you
get to launch rockets up to 15,000 ft! 🚀🚀🚀

Please find all the essential details below:

*Date and Time: *Date: Saturday Setup: 8:00 AM - 8:30 AM Launch: 9am until
4:00 PM or until conditions deteriorate

*Weather Update:* The weather forecast for Saturday is looking favorable
for our launch, however there is a storm coming. Please check the hotline
(925-443-8705), regardless of weather, for any last minute updates.

*Important Guidelines:* As we prepare for this event, please remember the
following guidelines:

   - While driving on the dirt roads leading to the launch site, maintain a
   maximum speed of 7mph.
   - When encountering puddles of water on the road, drive through them
   rather than attempting to drive around.
   - The roadbed is solid, but the sides are not, and attempting to drive
   around may result in getting stuck. Even 4 x 4 vehicles have encountered
   difficulties in the past.

*Volunteer Assistance Needed: *Our LUNAR events rely on the dedication of
volunteers to run smoothly. Dave Smith-Uchida has provided an overview of
what we require
<https://docs.google.com/document/d/14cZIeMWFNownAy1scLZMvFxyryc_6tkCC9v2JCWdrdc/edit>.
Tony has generously offered to pick up the trailer at 6:30 AM in Livermore.
However, we are seeking someone who can help transport it to the launch
site and return it to the farmhouse (not all the way back to Livermore).
Please remember that without the trailer of launch equipment, we cannot
proceed with the event.

Additionally, Tony will need to leave by noon, so we'll need extra hands
for tasks such as Launch Control Officer (LCO) duties and packing the
trailer at the end of the day, which is typically around 4 PM.

We have created a volunteer signup sheet
<https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1OBjF6WayGdJ4y8rzzI55o66ieGShbgr-5qglLn3cJ7o/edit#gid=1743540145>
that we encourage everyone to fill out before the launch. Even if you can
only spare a few minutes, your assistance will be greatly appreciated.
Please add your name and the times you are available to the signup sheet.

*Contact Information:* Should you have any questions or need further
information, please feel free to contact me directly at 408-707-0640 or via
email at motors at rocket.supplies.

Please reach out to our on-site vendor Rocket.Supplies
<https://rocket.supplies/products.php?scri=41> to arrange on-site delivery
of motors, kits and components.

We look forward to a successful rocket launch event at Snow Ranch and hope
to see you all there!
