EVENT REPORTS

Ding reports he attended the 25th anniversary meeting of the NorCal group at Wagel.  Mass launch at 9:45, everyone flew well.  Seven flyers, last place was 4 minutes. First place time was 14:10.  Jim maxed out A and half-A.  Lost one plane when the motor cutoff didn't kick in. 4.5 minutes in, they could still hear the motor.

NEW BUSINESS

Around November, we don't get the airport building due to the first aid training.  VP suggests we meet at a Pizza Parlor instead. Vote to have meeting at Pizza Parlor carried.  Club will buy some pizzas, attendees responsible for drinks, etc.

John Nelson, longtime member and good friend, has passed away. For many years he was our "Hat Man."  The club remembers him fondly and offers its sincerest condolences to his family.

DVRC will now be closed four days per year for police training, two days in Spring and two days in Fall.

Discussion was held concerning picnic and what we will have. Once again Howards's wife will handle the cooking.  The club expresses gratitude for her effort and appreciation for how good it is every time.
