Notes
Remind parents to:
  1. Bring a picnic lunch
  2. Bring lawn chairs
  3. Dress for the weather (fields may be muddy – maybe bring an extra pair of shoes & socks for the ride home)
All of the Rocket Launchers need to be tested to make sure they work.
  1. They will need new batteries.
  2. Some of the metal rings at the bottom may need to be replaced (some have holes in them and the plastic stands will get burned when the rocket engines fire).
Need to make sure we get a key to the gate at the Boeing RC Field, or get someone to meet us there at 10:30 AM to let us in.
