There was a good attendance at the Aerospace program at the AZ Wing Conference. The first hour was a presentation to expand our rocketry program with the Girl Scouts in Arizona. Last year was a very successful program spearheaded by the Deer Valley Squadron with three joint launches with the girl scouts totaling about 450 rocket launches. This year Matt Costable would like to expand it to 1000 launches with other interested squadrons participation. With the good attendance at the presentation it appeared there were several squadron representatives willing to give it some consideration. The whole program and instructions on how to proceed will be posted on the Deer Valley Squadron's Web Site. Those units interested to participate should contact Matt Costable.
