Secretary's notes thanks to Howard Brown
I hope everyone had a good August, either hiding under the cool AC, working on planes, flying, or enjoying some vacation time in a more temperate climate. Some parts of the Tucson area have seen a lot of rain in the past week or so, enough that it makes you start thinking of putting floats on that favorite plane and taking to those giant seemingly-lake-sized desert puddles... Well, it's a nice thought anyways.
August's general meeting was held on Sunday the 6th at the flying field at 9 AM, with 20 members present. As usual, Carlos read the Treasurer's minutes, reporting a balance of $2290.97. As per the last Newsletter, very appreciative thanks were given to Jim Eckels for a $300 donation to the club. It was also noted that Lynn Hefren won the $50 gift certificate at the last work party and donated it back to the club for future use. Wow - thanks Jim and Lynn!
We have a lot of new faces in the club these days! Please take the time to say hello and welcome newcomers to the field. Two new members as of the August meeting are Bobby Wilson and Larry Spencer - welcome! Many happy landings, and watch out for that puckerbrush...
It's time to start thinking about the election of new officers in December. The Secretary and Treasurer offices will be up for election this time around. If you're interested in running, step forward and let us know. Or take the time to nominate someone else. :)
A cross-country fly from the TRCC club to SAM was discussed and members voted to participate. The date is October 29th, and we will need to withhold using certain frequencies while that cross-country flight is in progress. Check out the article on Cross-Country R/C in this Newsletter!
