Letter from the Editor/President

Enjoy Your Christmas Holidays!

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

A lot has been going on, even though this is the bad weather season!

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

As most of you know, we are currently looking for a new field. We want to be proactive as the currently property owner has plans on eventually developing the land on our current field. Everyone should be actively keeping an eye out for possibilities. I will be speaking with the land owner and exploring our options with him. But we have to try to explore every possible avenue.

We will eventually come up with an acceptable solution that will help us remove our current size restrictions and give us a long-term option.

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

We also have some great volunteers that are helping us with the field, membership, safety, training and all of the other little things that need to get done, so that everyone can enjoy some time flying at the field. Thank you to everyone that has taken on some ectra responsibility for the club. The club thanks you!

Come out and fly and participate with the club, we look forward to seeing you!

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
