Club Meeting at the Churchville Rec Center, Thursday, March 11, 7PM. Bring something for show and tell. Since we missed last month, bring something extra. |
| GENERAL CLUB NEWS... |
Since there was no meeting last month, and as far as I know no one has been flying, I had to go to the archives for some photos. I went through the last eight years and found one appropriate photo for each month of March (the month we’re missing right)? Hope you enjoy them.
