We also need a lot of help during the event with such things as parking, traffic control, meal preparation, supply restocking, etc. A sign-up sheet was passed around and

	the club members were asked to select a specific duty and time they would be able to help. Other specific needs mentioned were coolers, tables, and chairs. Don Allsep said he would donate 50 folding chairs to the club.
	Joe reminded us all to keep safety in mind and to use basic common sense when flying. We’re doing a better job utilizing the impound area but we can do better. He also stated we have certain rules mandated by AMA and that we should comply even if we don’t agree with them. Joe reported we have a 100% safety record for the past 3 years since the club has been at the current location.
	Morgan Pritchard reported the JR training radio is back at the clubhouse.

Heli Fly In

The annual Heli Fly In was a huge success. We had more registered pilots than ever before. The event was run perfectly thanks to our CD, John Garst , and the food was supurb with Robin’s efforts. Thanks to all who helped make this year’s event a success. A detailed report will be provided at the Oct. meeting.
