At the Last Meeting...

The April 6th general meeting was attended by 27 hungry members, who enjoyed a splendid pre-meeting breakfast thanks to Jerry Knebel. Thanks Jerry! Carlos Rangel reported a closing balance of $3125.22 in the treasury. There were no new members this month. Arrangements were made to setup, man and disassemble our static display at the Pima County Fair. (Editor's note: The display setup was fantastic! Thanks to all of those who brought airplanes in various levels of construction for display, those who volunteered to man the display, plus a big thanks to Bob Leichtenberg for making flyers and a giant posterboard-sized map to our field.)

In important new business, a work party has been scheduled for Saturday, May 10th in preparation for the May Fly on the 18th. More details will follow at the May meeting, but mark your calendars for both events now! In other news, Mike Breen is now the custodian of our Airtronics buddy-box, so instructors and students should contact Mike (749-9034) to arrange to have the trainer box brought to the field.

The Catalina Radio Control Modelers (CRCM) Cross-Country Fly, scheduled for April 26th, was announced (this is a non-stop 40 mile round-trip event starting at the Tucson International Modelplex Park Association). Speaking of TIMPA, we have been informed of a ``Area Clubs Picnic'' to be scheduled at that field in the near future. For those of you who have not yet visited TIMPA, you ought to go check it out and help support our newest local flying field! Finally, Craig Kulesa was voted in as SAM's new newsletter editor. As they say, there's a sucker born every minute... <grin>
