[LUNAR Announce:] [LUNAR general:] LUNAR build night July 19

[Rocket Supplies]

Yes, they can come and build a free rocket!  Bring the friends too.
They are good first rockets, so the larger ones you have flown at
Brigantino Park are probably bigger, but that doesn't mean that one can't
build one.

You can also bring a rocket you already own and work on it with everyone
else in the community.
As always, Rocket.Supplies has additional kits you can buy, but there is no
cost to attend or build a LUNAR Build Night Rocket Kit.

Thanks to Paul for putting this together again this year and thanks to
Danielle and Paul for designing instructions for them.

Even if you don't want to build on the 19th, it is the bi-monthly general
meeting for LUNAR so please come by and talk about rocketry!
Bring a show-and-tell item.  Learn how to help with RSO or other
positions.  Signup to help organize a future launch in Campbell or San Jose.

See you on the 19th at 7pm :) 🚀
