At the December 2009 meeting the elections for the coming year were held.
I, Craig Porter, was reelected as the Chapter President, Chuck Lesher was reelected to the Vice Presidency along with Patti and Mike was reelected as Treasurer. Don Jacques declined to run for reelection as President because of other needs and projects.
Don has a project in progress for a Lunar Habitat that he is working on.
Chuck is trying to finish the rewrite of his book with the completion of the sequel.
Patti is also working on the sequel to her book.
Look for them on Amazon some time after the first of the year.
I'm working on a display wall for use when we have a booth or outreach table at a Convention or other event.
Anyone who is interested in joining us for our monthly meeting please feel free to meet with us.
Come share your concerns about our future on the Moon and the development of the Hub for Planetary exploration and the test bed for mining the asteroids for their resources to benefit the Earth's ecology.
The meeting will continue to be held the third Saturday of the month at Denny's on the South East corner of US 60 and Rural Road. The time remains the same, 3:PM.

=======================================
TELEPRECENSE REMOTE CONTROL RACES
(Still on going planning for Races.)
The Moon Society Phoenix is still working on the Teleprecense Remote Control races.
Check this blog for details as they develop.
We are still discussing set-ups, rules, equipment and sponsorship rules at this time and it appears that the races wont occur until sometime in the late winter or early spring.
All races will be open to all comers, however, judging maybe bases on age and type (cost) of RV Car. If you prefer to buy your own car and practice for the races, then you will need a three (3) channel RC Car that can be purchased at Walmart, Target or another store. You will need a minature TV camera, a transmitter, a receiver and a device to display the picture from the Car so that you can practice driving the Car by use of the TV System only.
In the talking stages are basic racing, advanced races, and the Lunar Challenge, race heats may be run against the clock and/or one on one or more.
If you have comments and suggestions please make your comments to this blog or send them to me at portercd@msn.com Subject RC Racing.
Demonstrations of the Race Cars will be available at CopperCon32 at the Moon Society Outreach Table.
