Rich Smoking Over Field

My Son David took pictures of my Yak 55M and did a very good job. We were smoking over the field with near calm winds and blue, blue sky last week. I also have pictures of Mort’s Edge on the next day, I will also prepare some of these for our page.

Safety reminder

I was reminded at the field this week that if one hears his prop hit something one should immediately check it. The flyer did not check on the problem then restarted. A piece of prop flew about 30 feet, let’s remember these things. Rich

September Cookout

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!

A Note From the President – Board Member Nominations and Positions

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,
