Come on out to the club’s Annual Open House this Saturday, June 28.  The event will start with a pilot’s meeting at around 9:00 AM to go over the field rules and safety related information. We could use some volunteers for cooking and safety inspection. If you take photos (digitally or otherwise) and get them to me, the best of the lot will be put on our web site.

Remember to communicate your intentions
