I was in Hobby corner picking up a few bits and noticed a gentleman interested in all the airplanes, but largely being ignored by the RCcar-headed staffer. He approached the clerk and inquired about area flying clubs, receiving the reply from RCcar dude reading from a list posted on the counter, "Yeah, here it is, Central Virginia Radio Control, in Midlothian" I snagged the man making the inquiry and, after setting him straight about the club scene, invited him to Fort Lee on Sunday.

We especially need to promote the AMA cause the hobby shops don't really even mention it to their cusomers.

Before we attack Fort Lee en masse-my feeling is that we should go thru our Archives and past correspondence and see what MVRCC has done in the PAST to show its GREAT APPRECIATION for the FORTY YEARS of having a HUGE FREE FLYING FIELD.......are you with me? The best thing the club can do right off the bat is THANK FORT LEE FIRST. AND MAKE IT A BIG DAMN DEAL!!!!!!!!!! That said, I agree...we need to get some cash flowing in the form of new members and activities--- Mike Hey Guys…glad the site is up and running.

Mike. He was like, "We fly at Fort Lee and all the young men and women would probably love to come out and learn to fly. We should put on a <strong>Ft. Lee learn to fly day</strong>."

I'll be configuring several listservs (dedicated to the members, administrators and specific committees) to allow for the rapid distribution of communication of "club critical" information. The lists will be opt-in and I will post detailed instructions as a comment to this post. Stay tuned…
