The club received over $500 income, details will be reported by Bill at the next meeting. Many thanks to the club members that helped, and special thanks to the wives of Bill Schneider, John Risbrough, Bill Hastings for coming out to help at the tables. The generous donation from Paint Ball Palace allowed for a great turn out to shoot at the US Army drone. We all had a ball shooting at the drone and my Phase 3 EDF jet. Reminder that the next meeting will be 6pm Sep 14th at the field. Some of us will be there early afternoon to do some flying. Come out and fly if you guys have not had a chance before the rain season comes. The runway is shaping up nicely, thanks to Rod Madison and our maintenance team. Mel Grahm visited us recently and commented that the runway is 10x better than he remembered from the pattern flying days. Keep up the strong effort guys. Take care, Khoi Tran.
