A Message from Our Club President As we all get ready for the upcoming flying season the club is planning to have a monthly open fly which will be open to other clubs and the public, I cannot think of a better way to get more people involved in the hobby that we enjoy. Last week the banquet was a lot of fun, we are already in the planning stage for next year’s party, so if you have any ideas please run them by Becky Kelly or Kathy McKay our event directors. HOPE TO SEE YOU AT THE FIELD SOON Gene Kelly
