Meeting:         The next meeting will be held Saturday, May 17th at 7:00 P.M. in the Library basement. (On the agenda) spring clean up, incorporating a summer schedule, hearing reports from our committees and a general membership vote will take place.

 

PRESIDENTS REPORT:       A new style of conducting our meetings will begin which will expedite our time frame at our meetings. The feeling is in the air as many members have already been to the field sharpening their flying skills. We have numerous events scheduled for this year, more than I have ever seen in a single summer. Our next meeting will reveal what’s coming up. Spring clean up should finalize our basic preparation and open the door to a summer full of fun. Field clean up is scheduled for Sunday May 18th 2003, 10:00 A.M. until? Fencing should be the only major factor. Everything else should be routine…Happy Landings.

The following is a little story sent by one of our long time fellow flyers.

 

I have two brothers. One plays with model airplanes, the other brother was just sentenced to death in the electric chair for murder. My mother died from insanity when I was 3 years old. My two sisters are prostitutes, and my father sells narcotics.

 

Recently, I met a girl who was just released from a reformatory where she served time for smothering her illegitimate child and I want to marry her.

 

MY PROBLEM IS: If I marry this girl, should I tell her about my brother who builds model airplanes?
