YELLOW SNOW FOLLYS ON NEW YEAR'S DAY
January 1st will be MMAR's first launch of the new year, and we will be joining
the Port City RC Club for their "7th Annual Chili Pig Down and Fun Fly". This
will take place at the Port City RC Club field (heated clubhouse!)at noon. The
route is M-46 (Apple Ave.) to Swanson Rd. Turn south for 1 mile, then West on
E. Laketon. The entrance is located on the north side of the road.
GPS Co-ordinates... Lat 4322169/Long 86.010246.
I will post an actual map on the MMAR and SMASH websites. Anyone wanting to fly
HP, we will have the waiver in effect, but it does not cover the RC Club field,
so we will have to go to our field to fly HP. Of course the RC fliers are
invited to see any and all HP flights. We will also be flying low power stuff
at their field. Come join us!!!!

Post Christmas Party and Rambo Gift Exchange
Our annual Christmas Party is Sunday, January 8th, 2012, at Wayside West in Kalamazoo, MI, from 12pm to 5pm. Please bring a potluck dish to pass, and if you would like to participate in the Rambo Gift Exchange, bring a rocketry related, wrapped gift, $20-$25 range. NO GAG GIFTS! It's not fair to the recipient that brought a legitimate gift, to go home with a 'gag' that you thought would be funny. As a 'gag' gift reciepent twice, I speak from experience! If you don't know how we play the Rambo Gift Exchange, it will be explained before we start. BE WARNED! It's a lot of fun and takes several hours! :)
