Greetings,

As we begin our 41st year as AMA R/C Club #574 and 14th year as an AMA Gold Leader Club, enclosed is the club schedule for 2008. Hopefully, everyone will have their 2008 AMA card in time for their dues renewal and the new flying season. Take some time to review the field rules and, "Do not fly without placing your AMA card ID in the pin box."

The election of Club Officers was held in November 2007 and our thanks go to those who returned for another year. Also thanks, to Gil Walters for the past service as Treasurer, and to the return of John Wapensky as our next Guardian of the Funds.

The Web Site is maintained by Bill Huegel at http://www.tuscarorarcflyingclub.com and the Field Officers remain as follows: Safety - Ron Schwartz (Pottsville Area) – (570) 628-2560; Rich Eames. Rules - John Wapensky.

If you break the Field Rules, these guys have the last word. Also remember, that they are there for "your" safe flying! Let's try to have an accident free year. A reminder to everyone starting engines to use the tables, or a model restraining device, or a rear holding person; and, there is "Absolutely No Flying Over The Main Road, The Flight Line, The Pit /Spectator Area!"

Flying hours are the same, 8 AM until "sun set – observe the chart." Meetings are normally the first Monday of the month (unless a holiday – check your schedule) or the next day(s) if the road or other conditions warrant such a change. Call your Local Area Officer when in doubt. The meeting place is at the Tuscarora State Park Office (on the PA Park Grounds) at 7 PM.

The Mall Shows, the War Birds Fun Fly, the Aerorama 2007, and the Float Fly’s were all held successfully as scheduled. All who participated enjoyed the day(s). It was decided by the club members to have all of these events again for 2008; however, the participation at the Club Picnic was very low (only two people,) so it was decided not to schedule a picnic. Thanks to the Officers, the flying field maintenance crew, and all of the other club members who either web sited, edited, CD’d, planned, setup, worked, instructed, participated, or just came to, the two Mall Display Shows, the three Flying Events, and the Aerorama Air Show.

The $35 Tuscarora RC Club dues payment for 2008 is due 1/31/2008 via mail at the Treasurer’s address w/stamped return address for a membership card or at the February 4 meeting. After the due date, any renewals will be subject to a late fee (the same $10 as a "new member initiation fee.") No reminder’s, so get your dues in by the deadline.

See you at the "Meetings, Scheduled Events, and Flying Field!"

George
