GLITCH BUSTERS

From the Weiss House

   For three of the four past years, I have been serving as your President doing the best I can do. I have been assisted by some terrific people which always makes the job more fun and less difficult. As a Board, we have been getting together every two weeks, both at general membership meetings as well as Board Meetings. I have received wonderful cooperation not only from Board members but so many others.

   At this point, for a variety of reasons, I wanted you to know that I will not be seeking re-election. For some of you, this will undoubtedly be good news for I know I have ruffled some feathers regarding decisions that were mine. I guess that I am responsible for taking one of our runways and reserving it for our heli fliers. I guess it was me who made a very conscious decision to raise money for the club treasury (which was almost totally depleted when Dick and I started working on this four years ago). I guess it was me who told Mike Felker, our very good friend at State Parks, that, on our own, we would curtail glow and gas flying on evenings proceeding camping activities adjacent to our field. I have always tried to make decisions in the best interests of RC flying and to do whatever it takes to keep our field at Lums Pond.

   I also know that everyone has an opinion and it is time for someone else to put theirs in front of our club in an official leadership position. While I have a couple of more months in our driver's seat, I do want to thank our Board and so many others who were supportive even when the going got tough.

Thanks!
