At the Last Meeting...

July 6th's general meeting at the field was attended by 18 members. There were no new members this month. On July 19th, the scheduled work party dispatched with the old tires that once lined our runway (now having been replaced by a real fence thanks to Tom, Paul and others). Janet Wylie won the work party raffle, aided perhaps by the fact that only five (5) members showed up. Thanks very much to those who came and helped! Folks, you're missing out!

Bill Petrick is the custodian of the Club's video collection. Due to recent additions to the library and the need to inventory and organize the collection, he requests that all checked-out videos be returned at/by the next meeting on August 3rd. So get your tapes to Bill ASAP. At the meeting, Paul Jackson reported that the field roller has been patched for leaks, but advises that prospective users store it with the patch facing up to prevent further problems.

Bob Leichtenberg commented on the Father's Day Fun Fly in Sierra Vista - which proved to be too windy for even the hardiest fliers. Maybe next year Mother Nature will be a little more forgiving. Here at SAM, we are gearing up for our next big event: the 2nd Annual Night Fly. It's open to all AMA or SFA members and is scheduled for Sunday, August 31. Festivities will begin around 4:30 PM in plenty of light for ``daytime'' flight. Bring a dish for the potluck or use the grills. Side dishes and sodas will be available. Sunset's at 6:48 PM, civil twilight ends at 7:15 and astronomical twilight at 8:14 PM. A limited number of light sticks will be available, or bring your own lighting system. See this issue for more information on nighttime R/C flying. Come on out - even to simply spectate or ``copilot''.
