June Meeting 2017

Greetings all.  We were one member short for an official meeting.

John brought his laptop and gave us an incredible slide show of his trip to the Smithsonian Air Museum(s).  He has more photos so maybe we will see them next time.

Keep next in mind the next meeting in July.  Call a member and invite them to come.  Remind as many as you can.  We need folks at the meeting and it is a social club as well as a flying club.

Until next time.....

March 25^th Fun Fly with pot luck (brunch). More info-time, food ideas etc at March meeting.

NEW BUSINESS

Dave and Mike rolled the field on February 20^th. Thanks guys!!!!

Dave mentioned that the club needed to make a donation to the church for use of the meeting room. So we had a check written for the church and it is ready for the president to pass it along to the appropriate parties. Thanks Dave!!!

Finally, Dale is doing ok and is anxious to get to the field and resume scaring the local bird population. We sure wish him a speedy recovery and hope he walks better with his new knee.
