some have asked what forms to use for recording launch data. There is no one perfect sheet. The sheet I prefer is shown here. You can use it if you like.

The first meeting

Today was the first meeting for the Jefferson County 4H rocketry club. Only two families showed up, but other families informed the leaders ahead of time that they would be there for the next meeting. We mostly covered topics of building rockets and other aerospace projects and launching them. We watched movies of launches on youtube and discussed when the next meeting will be.

The next meeting is planned for Sunday, October 25th at 4:00 PM, in the 4H building. If you know someone who is interested bring them along.
