 Meeting:       The next meeting will be held Saturday, June 14th at 9:30AM  at the club field one half hour before our fun fly begins. This will be a short meeting due to the event.

 

PRESIDENTS REPORT:       A special thank you goes to Kevin Lawrence and Menards for supplying materials for our new fence. Construction members were John Moen, Shane Iorns and Tiffany, Joe Zamiski, Kevin L, Don Filter, Duane Nichols, Wayne Barta and Kevin Kuehn.  Also Thanks to Kevin Kuehn and Shane Iorns for repairing the lawn mower and mowing the lawn.

I would like to take a moment to encourage all members to police our field when ever necessary, if you see something that is not ordinary, or someone doing things they shouldn’t be, including but not limited to safety issues, by all means either approach them in a nice way and correct the problem or inform an officer so the problem can be corrected. Thank You. Before our fun fly begins, we have permission to move soccer nets east near the hill as long as we put them back when we’re done….happy landings.
