Membership in ACRC is currently at 96 (102, 114) members.  There are 83 (87, 96) members that pay full annual dues.  The remaining members are Life Members, junior members and honorary members.  The numbers in parenthesis are the numbers of members last year and in 2005 at this time.  As you can see the membership numbers have been dropping over the past few years.  The same trend is also occurring in St. Paul R/C.  Maybe new fliers are flying their park flyers close to home.  Each year ACRC gets some new fliers.  One of the ways that you can help the club is to become an instructor.  If you are interested in becoming an instructor you can contact Matt Campson at (763) 315-0342.

     At the membership meeting in October ACRC will be taking nominations for board members for 2008/2009.  Four positions will have to be filled.  The two-year terms of Matt Campson, Bob Nagle, Andy Noll and Steve Ulrich 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 entering you own name into nomination.  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.  Remember, you too can be a FBM.

     THE NEXT MEETING WILL BE AT RIVERWIND ON SEPTEMBER 20 AT 7:00 PM.  Don't forget the fun-fly on Saturday September 22.
