The meeting will be held in the main showroom at the usual time of 7:30 p.m. After the "official business" portion of the meeting, those interested will be taken to the production area where they will see a demonstration of laser cutting of balsa and light ply material. They will be cutting receiver boxes out of balsa that will be given away on a first come, first serve basis. If you would like to have something special cut, if time permits they can do that as well.

Correspondence:

Bad news!  Judd Curtis (the club's contact person pertaining to the field lease) said he received complaints about airplanes flying over the Landfill.  If you are not sure about the fields boundaries please ASK.  Jeff Owens commented on the fact the it is VERY important to keep on Judd's "good side".  He remembered a time when the club's contact wasn't, and the club was forced to move for a period of some time.
