Letter from the Editor/President

Enjoy Your Christmas Holidays!

Club Officers: President: Rich Whitlow rwhitlow@gmail.com

It was certainly an interesting month! The IMAC Season started and I was able to travel to Shreveport and compete.

It was a tremendous amount of fun and I met a lot of great people.

Vice-President: Rick Klusman raholek@aol.com Secretary: Chuck McDonald paintrain24@gmail.com Treasurer: Merv Howells merv.howells@cox.net

We are also still looking for a new location for a field. We all need to keep our eyes open for possible properties.

We have had some good weather and were able to hold a successful Night Fly and Combat event.

If you get a chance to male one of the area events and visit another club, take advantage of the oportunity and let us hear about it.

Redstick RC Club meets on the last Wednesday of the month (except December) at Jones Creek Library at 7:00 pm Burbank Field is located on Burbank Hwy, just south of Highland Road

Also, if you take some pictures at the field or of anything related to RC PLEASE send them to me. I want to include them in the Newsletter.

Get out and Fly and find us a field!

Till next Month....Krzy4RC

Meeting Review March 25, 2014 Membership Committe Report: Badre reported that the membership packets are at the field. He also suggested that we look into accepting Paypal on the website to pay memberships online.

Meeting Date: March 25, 2015 Meeting was held at Jones Creek Library, on a Wednesday, at 7 pm.

The minutes from last meeeting were read and accepted.

The treasurer’s report was read and accepted. We have plenty of money in the bank and and renewals are coming in regularly.

Field Committee Report: Ken Hadley reported for Kevin Fountain that the field has been cut. There has also been a few ant hills and crawfish mounds that have been removed. If you see any, please take care of them. The clover has been under pretty good control from the herbicide we spread out in January.

Safety Committee Report: Ken Hadley reported that we have had a close call at the field. It involved a plane that was being flown close to dark. It got to the point that the orientation and location of the plane was hard to determine.

Please make sure that you are conscious of the light and make sure that you land before you can’t see the plane. If you witness or have any close calls, please bring them up to Ken Hadley or Rich Whitlow.

Names are not necessary, we just need to review the situation with the club members so that we can prevent future problems.
