Now that the new site is finally up I want to start working on bringing back the news letter. I’ve got a template ready to go. And I’m working on 2 articles that I’ll put in the first issue. (one on the static test of a gaseous propane and oxygen engine and one on the static test of a potassium nitrate sugar motor)I also have a few more planned for latter issues. I’m issuing a call for anyone interested in getting published in the RRS newsletter. Let me know if you are working on something or if you need some help.

Sorry about the long wait for the January 10th meeting report. I’ve been between jobs and places. The meeting was attended by 6 members. At that time the January Launch date was set at the 25th. I haven’t heard back how it went. The treasury report was for a balance of $17837.61.

Chris informed us that the USC Law school has externship programs where students can gain legal skills while working on public interest and pro bono cases with real-life clients. So that means we may be able to get some free legal help. It particular they brought up the example of getting the RRS registered as a Non-Profit federally (501c3), which we are currently in the process of doing.

Like I’ve mentioned I’ve been between jobs and places, so I missed the launch and the February meeting. I’ll know after the March 14th meeting if I’ll have anything to report on them.

The new web site is finally online. It will work a little more like a blog with hopefully more regular updates. I’m still working on a few things. We still need to have a PayPal account setup for the RRS so we can receive membership payments and donations online. I’ll also be adding to the RRS library as I get new items.

Some content will only be accessible by members, and if you are already a member of the RRS you can access member content from the web site. To do so you need to be registered as a member on the website. To do this you must first register as a “Public User,” on the registration page and then send an email to the web master at reactionresearchsociety@gmail.com. Put “RRS” in the subject line and let us know you’re a member and we’ll change your registration to “RRS Membership” so you can access the member content.
