The old saying “in like a lion out like a lamb” or something to that effect seems to be apparent with respect to the weather lately. A few of you hardy souls have been out flying and I have to admit I admire your determination. The conditions, for me at least, need to be a little warmer and inviting in order for me to be motivated to leave my man cave

With the month of February behind us now, I can say that it was a busy period with club activities and such. I’d like to thank everyone who attended and supported our annual banquet and silent auction along with the volunteers. I’d like to say a special thank you to Dave Procyshen in particular for being the emcee for the evening.

For the next few months, as you may be aware, the club will be undertaking a new group project…. We don’t have a name for it yet, but it will entail a high altitude launch of a weather balloon and data capture. We will be giving an update at our next regular meeting.

I will be making another brief presentation that pertains to flying with the intention of sharing some more knowledge/ education within the club. There will be a video presentation by Al Botting after our usual break and I look forward to it.

Due to unforeseen circumstances, we did not conduct the annual raffle draw at the banquet. So instead, we will make the winning draws this next meeting. There may be a few tickets still available so if you haven’t already gotten one or are looking to increase your chances, please see Kathleen at the break. Good Luck everyone!

I look forward to seeing everyone at the next meeting, so please come and share a few stories and laughs… till then, be safe, have fun, and take along a friend.
