In order for us to be more informed on flying site issues I would like to recommend everyone to read two articles in the April 2002 issue of Model Aviation, "AMA News" on pages 151, 152 and "Flying Site Assistance" on pages 153, 154.
Last meeting the club voted to participate at an upcoming Mall event. This is a great start to get out the word about our club. I am sure there are other events we can perform as a group to enhance the publicity of the club. Our sailplane competition and the Heli clinic can help if the club publicizes the events and invites spectators.
I hope to see you at the meeting so we can get a good start on solving out flying site issues.
