On 11-04-08 I took the two empty tanks used from the previous flight to Allied and replaced them with two full tanks of helium. While at there I confirmed with Brian that there would be three tanks available for us to rent for the flight on 11-22-08. After receiving the invoice I forwarded the information on to Joe so that he could keep the books straight for the club.

I have turned the tanks over to Louis and he will bring them to the launch on the 8th and the 22nd.

As many of you may be aware, the ANSR website has gotten a bit of face lift this week. We here at ANSR are happy with the new layout but we still need your help. If you see anything that needs to be corrected or add, please contact us and let us know.

Please note, that there will not be a meeting this month but there will be one next month on the 15th of September.

Welcome to the new ANSR webpage.

The website has been moved to new content management system by Jeff, KD7JNY (Thanks!) with cleaner navigation and key content areas. We'll be adding key information over the next month like flight pictures, flight procedures, and educator info.

If you have any feedback or questions please see "Contact ANSR" tab which will shoot a mail to the ANSR board members and webmaster.
