District XI—Alaska, Idaho, Montana, Oregon, Washington
Herb Bone, from the Marymoor R/C Club in Redmond, Washington, wrote about a display the club put on for a local senior center. Activities such as this further the interests of the hobby in general because they build goodwill in the community, and the seniors have family and friends who will hear about what we are doing.
Marymoor R/C Club display at Redmond Senior Center
On a sunny day in August, the Marymoor R/C Club put on a display of model airplanes at the local Redmond Senior Center to entertain and to expose others to aeromodeling. Club members displayed a variety of RC models, including:
- Trainers
- Sport models
- Large aerobatic models
- A turbine-powered jet model
The visitors included many senior citizens who were interested in the models, how they worked, and where the club flies them. Some visitors shared their own "I used to fly models" stories.
The club members were happy to display their models and to talk with the seniors. The center rewarded the club with a nice lunch.
The model display was in the same area as a display of nicely restored Ford Model A cars.
