A quick note that the September cookout at the field will be held on Wednesday September 5th at 6:00PM and will be a pot luck cookout.

Beverages will be supplied by the club as well as plates, napkins, and plastic ware.

Each person should bring a dish to pass that serves 6 – 8 people or more to ensure there is enough food to go around. Dishes that require refrigeration may not be a good idea if it is warm and the grill will also be available.

No signups are required and we hope to have a great turnout to the last cookout of the year.

Eating will start at 6:00 and grazing will continue to the food or the sun is gone. Hope to see you there!

Everyone,

I wanted to take a moment to remind the members of how important the next few club meetings are. If you aren’t aware the September meeting is when board member nominations for the following year are accepted. Voting takes place at the October meeting and officers start at the November meeting in their new roles.

This last year TCAF did not have an acting Secretary on the board. Although that may not seem bad, it doesn’t bode well for the future if we cannot get members to step up and be board members. Many of the older members have served on the board in one or more positions for multiple years, they have taken a turn so to speak.

This year, our Treasurer has expressed that he would like to step down after three years, and I would like to step down after two years as President.

To that end, please take a moment to think about serving the club in any one of the board positions. The work is minimal, not much more than attending meetings and performing a few small duties to help the club we all love continue on. This is your chance to lead a great group and make a positive impact.

Thank you,

The July 26th pylon event is cancelled.

Previous events had little to no attendance and the email sent out had little response.

The Holland Sentinel came out to the June Hot Dog Night and talked to members and took some pictures, and today we have made the paper.

One correction, they did misquote me where it says my plane went into the pond, I had said it was another member’s plane.

Check out the article online at The Holland Sentinel’s website.
