Thanks for the heads up.   It may be a double for me to.

 

Is this the club that is one you reference?

Hey, what a rocket weekend with N. Illinois conference, and for me (and hopefully some of you), the Indiana Rocketry high power launch @ ~10am Sunday. Between Tab and Pence Indiana: https://goo.gl/maps/i3jn7ZgHvM82.

The big problem is that I have to remember to add the hashtag to my subject lines ... it may take my old brain a few tries to get it in there consistently!

Shouldn't be any effect on the messages you receive.
