John McCoy reported that the section renewal charter has been received, but there is no insurance yet. Therefore, the Feb 12 sport launch is on hold until we receive the insurance.
John McCoy also reported that the ROMAC committee spent < $200 on the replacement launch rack plugs due to the bulk discount. No work has been done on it yet, however.
OPOSSUM-3 is March 18. There will be ribbons awarded, so the contestant's fee is $2.
