of schools and individuals participated in
this event.

from the Kane Area Middle School in Kane,
Pennsylvania, was the champion. The team
is comprised of Kevin Leskovec and Dustin
Beane. Congratulations on a great effort!

Special thanks is offered to Vern for his
focus of this positive youth activity.

District III Report The Wyoming
Valley R/C Flyers
held its second
annual Wing Full of
Wishes Radio
Control (RC) Air
Show to benefit the
Make-A-Wish
Foundation of
Northeastern
Pennsylvania. The
event was held at
Moon Lake County
Park.
This year’s
activities included
Poko the Clown,
face painting,
raffles, a deejay, a
bake sale, and a
great RC air show.
The Make-A-Wish
families and
sponsors of the
event were able to
try their hand at
flying an RC
airplane. State
Representative
George C. Hasay
also attended and
spoke at the event.
Wings Full of
Wishes 2002 raised
$2,600 and was
enjoyed by
everyone. The
average cost of a wish is approximately $5,000. The club has been able to raise enough
money to fund a wish for a child from the proceeds of the past two years of the event.
Members of the Wyoming Valley R/C Flyers.
A worthwhile donation to the Make-A-Wish Foundation.
