THE ARGONIA FARMERS HAVE ALWAYS SUPPORTED ROCKETRY

Dear Rocket Friends,

On Saturday April 14, 2012, a large EF3 tornado swept through south central
Kansas leaving in its wake a great deal of destruction of property. While
KLOUDBusters was fortunate that the storm narrowly missed the Rocket
Pasture, but some families in the Argonia community were not as lucky.
Several, including one of our nearby farmers, experienced major property
loss including their homes, livestock, farm buildings and equipment.
Thankfully, no people were seriously injured.

In the rural Midwestern way, the Argonia community has banded together and
are helping the victims gather their belongings that were strewn across a
large area. KLOUDBusters is taking the initiative to allow the rocketry
community to come together to assist Argonia storm victims financially.
This catastrophe strikes close to home as if our own families have been
affected. It is our hope that we can help them is some small way to recover
from their losses.

A PayPal account has been established that folks can use to donate to the
cause, the address is [email protected]. All money collected
via this account will be used to directly benefit storm victims in the
Argonia community. Alternatively, donation checks may be sent to
KLOUDBusters Argonia Relief, c/o Science Ed. Center, 2730 Boulevard Plaza,
Wichita, KS 67211-3812.

With the guidance of our Argonia contacts, we will determine the best way to
disseminate the funds and 100% of the money collected will stay in the
Argonia community.

For those of you who wish to participate, thanks in advance.

On behalf of the KLOUDBusters,
Bob Brown, Prefect
Lance Lickteig. President

PS: Please feel free to post this email to any other rocketry related egroup.

Yep, me too. I've only been to Argonia twice, but plan on getting there more God willing.
 
Have been there 3 times now. Their support of us deserves our support of them!

Agreed! A better group of folks than those in Argonia would indeed be hard to find. Donation processed...
 
Never been to Argonia myself - doubt I will ever make it.

That said, it seems to me that those folks do a lot of good for the rocketry community as a whole. So....

Donation on the way.

I'm in as well. Been there only once, but have it on my list of places to return. Great folks there and very hospitable to us, now it's our turn.
