{mosimage}Tim Thomas of Giant Leap Hobbies and also a UROC member, has put together a great raffle for the upcoming Pioneer launch. He has contacted Tom Rouse who will be sending over some motor hardware and Tim will be donating a 30.00 Gift Certificate for GLR products, and an Estes D-Region Tomahawk. Everyone who works a range duty shift at the Pioneer Open & launch , either day will get one ticket per shift.
At the end of the launch 3 tickets will be drawn. First ticket gets first pick of the loot, second picks next and third gets what is left. More shifts get more tickets. Whoever hauls out the Trailer gets 3 tickets, same for hauling it back. This contest is just for fun, but, as Tim says "it is a small thank you to the people who help out!" Make sure you stop by and tell Tim thanks for supporting your club.
Apparently, others are finally learning what we have known for years... Rockets are fun! UROC has been asked to assist with two very large scout events in the next couple of weeks. Bruce Bell has taken on the coordination and planning for these events (Thanks Bruce!) We would like to get as many UROC members in attendance at both events as possible.
