Subject: [NARTARC] FIRE ALERT - May impact Jan 19 launch at Santa Fe Dam in Los Angeles
ATTENTION: This is a copy of a message I posted on the Southern California Rocket Association (NAR Section 430) YahooGroup
http://groups.yahoo.com/neo/groups/...cketNAR430/info
The Colby Fire is burning in the foothills above Azusa and Glendora near the Santa Fe Dam. They are currently using the area of the park that we use to launch for the command center to fight the fire (and scooping water from the park lake with Super Scooper aircraft and helicopters).
If they get the fire under control or out and leave the park we will launch, but if not, we will have to postpone the launch until next weekend. The park says that we can use Sunday, January 26 as an alternate launch day if necessary.
Stay tuned to the SoCalRocketNAR430 YahooGroup for an update and I will tweet out info as necessary.

Don't forget that there is also a class scheduled in Lakewood on Saturday, January 25, 2014. Call or e-mail Martin Bowitz to reserve a space (or spaces) for the class.
And MASSIVE thanks to everyone who came to the AMA Expo and helped staff the club booth and the Make & Take sessions. Estes provided an assortment of free kits that we distributed to our volunteers as a nice perk.

Subject: [NARTARC] Launch date now moved
As luck would have it, within 2 minutes of posting the last message I got a call from the Park officials at the Santa Fe Dam Recreational Area and they say the fire fighting command center will be in the park until this coming Tuesday, so our launch is postponed from January 19, 2014 until January 26, 2014.
If any TARC teams need to contact me for advice in the meantime, feel free to e-mail, call or text me.
