President’s corner:

Rain, rain, but now it’s time to fly. Don’t forget to cycle your batteries. We had a great turn out for our January meeting, approximately 30 members attended, The club was greeted with a new raffle and it seems like every one enjoyed it and will be continued as a regular event. Thanks to the donations from Big Boys Toy’s and L&L Auto. We do appreciate that. The reinstatement of out dues was covered briefly, and as of now we have gotten off to a good year. I want to thank every one for their support towards the club. Larry Schlagel

Larry has a representative coming from PAX TV to make a fantastic presentation to the club that will put us in the spotlight on TV and also enable us to make money from it.
