The theme is always a recurring one! “Time flies”… we often hear or say, but of course it does, and so do we aviators in particular. As Christmas approaches, so does the end of my term as club president. It is comforting to take reflection with respect to where we’ve been as a club… and I must say… it’s always been fun, but it is also important to look forward and attempt to plan where we are going as well.

We have made a few advances with the club getting “our” word out there in the cyber world, and we have also made strides while in our travels in meeting new people and having them join us. The one challenge that I have identified is that we must continually promote our club and our passion for flying. This will continue to be an ongoing challenge, and I urge all of our membership to meet this challenge.

Being a member of the CRUFC has been a very fulfilling experience for me personally, and I look forward to many years in the future continuing to do so.

I’d like to thank the current executive as well as those past; I look forward to the new one as well. Count me in as a continued supporter of the club and aviation in general. I like to say to the membership as a whole that you are a great bunch of folks to be around and I look forward to sharing many good times with you.

In closing, I will finish with my typical byline (with a twist)… have fun, stay safe… and take along a victim!
