A Note From The President

Fellow Members,

I wanted to take a moment to thank all of you that came out today to join in the event hosted at the field.

Numerous buddy box flights were done on the two club trainers and the Radians with folks interested in RC airplanes and flight.

Folks had a great time at the field and it was great seeing all the members out to help, talk to folks, and fly for everyone to watch. A true win in the club score card.

I would also like to take a moment to let everyone know how important the next two meetings are for the club. Board member nominations and elections will happen and they are very important to the continued growth and momentum of the club.

This year we will again have an opening for the position of Secretary as well as an opening for President. I am not able to continue in my role as President and will need to step down.

This is truly an opportunity, and a need, for someone to step forward and take a seat on the board. Please consider nominating yourself for a board position and doing something great for the club, it needs you.

Thank you again,

– Mike
