This is the February edition but just to get the last January word out; the public is invited to join in on the next Club Fair to be held at the Cultural Center on January 30 from 10:00 am until 1:00 pm. We have a choice location to display our models and possibly meet everyone that enters. We will be located in the lobby between the two main entrance doors to the auditorium. This is always a bigger show than when hosted at the Recreation Center, so everyone is invited to visit our display and see what else is going on at On Top of the World.
Last month the new Board of Directors and Officers were presented. They took command the first Monday of January and our club is in good hands. During this meeting several members were presented with well-deserved awards. These pilots typically take the lead position for club operations and events. Bob “Robo” Wroblewski was honored for his constant and continuing volunteering to be The Voice of the OTOW Flyers during all of our Fly Ins. Our retiring president, Don Wright, was recognized for three successful years at the helm and guiding the club through several great Fly-In half-time shows. Finally, Dick Rose received a long overdue award for many years of service to this club. ‘Best the records show is that he started as a director in 2010 and worked his way to President. He has always taken the lead to get things done and is a wealth of our institutional knowledge as we look to the future.
The Spring Fly-In is just two months away. Hopefully everyone will mark their calendars for April 5 from 9 am until 1:00 pm. The models on display and flying are always great to observe; there will be coffee and donuts followed be lunch from the famous RC FLYER grill.
We enjoy responding to questions about our club, building models, as well as flying RC model airplanes, helicopters, and drones. Just come to the field or check our website at otowrcflyers.com to learn more.
