KRAM,
Hi all! Sorry for the tardiness of the monthly memos, I’ve been on vacation since the 16th and forgot to send something out. Our last club meeting was another non-meeting meeting, lacking only 2 people for a quarem. I’ll be sending along some discussion notes from Dan soon. Our flying season is underway and the yearly event schedule has begun! The club has a handful of things for the upcoming month of May.
At the club meeting on May 1st, we will continue our discussion on a couple field rules regarding taxiing to/from the pits. If you have any thoughts on this, please bring them to the meeting! Some lucky fellow won a bottle of CA last month, who knows what’s in the magic box this round! And don’t forget to bring something to show off…we’ve had some very nice models brought in the last couple months! Thanks to everyone who brought something to show.
On the 5th, a club all the way from Ontario is planning on coming over to check out our fabric runway. I’ll be contacting them next week to nail down a time and will let everyone know. Please stop on out if you are able and help answer any questions they might have.
May 19th will hopefully bring a bag-full of new students to the field for TAG day. A signup sheet will be passed around at the club meeting to help cover the various stations. If you are available, please come on out and give us a hand! We’ll have lots of people with lots of questions, so even if you’re not an instructor we still need your help. I’ve got some ideas to help make the process a little smoother and more organized, but it will require a few more hands on board to make it work. If you have any ideas for this event, please let me know now!
On that Sunday the 20th, Buffalo Wild Wings on 28th st will be the location for a club fundraiser. Head out there for lunch or dinner, dine in or take out, with our flier in hand, and help out your club at no extra charge to you! 20% of your order will come back to us…so eat up! Anyone with this flier can help out the club, so hand it out to neighbors, friends, family, coworkers and well…anyone who likes chicken. If you haven’t tried their Parmesan Garlic sauce, I highly recommend it!
On a final but very important note, I received word that someone from the Ionia club mentioned at their club meeting that 3D flying at KRAM has been suspended. I’m not sure how this rumor came about, but I want to assure you that ALL types of flying will always be welcome at the field, so long as it’s done in a safe manner and in accordance with the field rules. If you hear any such rumors, please politely correct them and inform one of our officers ASAP.
That’s all for now, I hope to see you at the club meeting!
Keep your wings level and altitude positive,
Nik
