All,

Some items that have come up at the Board of Directors meeting as well as the General Club meeting.

1.  The land owner has requested that we keep the gate to the access road closed at all times.  This means no more "Leave the Gate Open I'm right behind you"  The horses (smart devils that they are) have learned to jump the cattle guard and will loiter around the gate so they can jump it when you open it.  Please be watchful of the horses.

2.  Bob Dane and Art Wagoner have spent allot of time on the runway sealing cracks and doing maintenamce on the sides of the runway.  Please be mindful of their work and pick up any FOD that may be on the runway or the flying stations.   Also if you should crash (heaven forbid) please use the trash bags and pick up every piece of wood, plastic, batteries, fuel tanks as the cattle will eat it and it  leaves a carbon foot print that is not very green of us.

3.  Jim Williams says training night is sort of slow right now and he advises that if you want to fly on Trainng night (Tuesdays ) its okay with him as long as he is not teaching.

4.  There is no news on the Mustang tap project other than we gave the lawyers more $$,  We are due an update from Charles when he gets back from vacation.

5.  We are about to enter into the hotest part of the summer be aware of the heat, bring ice and towels and wear a hat, sunshades ect...  It's hot and if you feel dizzy or have a headache get in the car and run the AC until you feel beter.  Heat stroke affects everybody young or old.

That's all for now  Please fly and enjoy the field.

President’s Corner

Most of you will be reading this after the July fourth holiday weekend. I hope you all had a great time with friends and family and perhaps you had a chance to enjoy our hobby a bit. The June meeting was fun as usual and the summer turnout was pretty sparse. The good news was that the odds of winning a raffle prize went up exponentially. I have been putting a little time into construction of new models and that is about it. Unfortunately we have had yet more stress around my house due to a few gentlemen who prefer burglary to gainful employment. When I first heard we got robbed, I almost (notice I said almost) hoped that they took my planes. Why you ask? I think every hobby shop in town would recognize my orange and white planes and they would have called the authorities. It sounds like a cliché, but the truth is that no one was home, no one was hurt and stuff is replaceable. Please stay focused on what is important and it ain’t stuff. I hope to see you at the field or a meeting soon.
