SEPTEMBER FUN FLY
It was another good day in the neighborhood as Mister Rogers use to say. There were 11 pilots that participated in this month's fun fly. The weather was perfect; light wind from the southwest and temperature in the 60's with a high sky. What else has to be said except what a day to fly.
Once again, there were 3 events. They were high-speed pass downwind and slow speed upwind pass over the runway. We then subtracted the time and the greatest difference won. The winner of that event was Jeff Flander with a difference of 10.56 seconds.
The second event was the shortest time to, takeoff, do 3 loops, 3 rolls and 3 stall turns and land. The winner of this event was Kevin Carlson.
Third and last event was 30 second climb and glide and land on field. If you landed on the runway you received a 5 second bonus. The winner of this event was Stan Zdon.
The over all winner of this months Fun Fly was Kevin Carlson, nice going Kevin.

MEMBERSHIP NEWS
OCTOBER 2007
At the membership meeting in October ACRC will be taking nominations for board members for 2007/2008. Four positions will have to be filled. The two-year terms of Dan Stahn, Al Spearbecker, Jake Groetsch and Stan Zdon are ending. Start thinking of who would be a good board member and come to the October meeting and nominate them. If you check with them first to see if they will accept the nomination it will make the process proceed more smoothly. You might even consider nominating yourself. ACRC needs members who are willing to help run the club. You cannot just wait for the next guy to do the work while you just fly. Ask not what ACRC can do for you, but rather what can you do for ACRC. Even you can be a FBM. (F------ Board Member) The election is in November and the new board takes over in December.
