Dear District V Members
For my first report for Model Aviation, I will outline some changes that I hope will be for the good of District V.
Dick Donan called me and said he would be happy to be the RC event coordinator for Florida. He is presently RC event coordinator for Tennessee, Mississippi, Alabama, South Carolina, Georgia, and Puerto Rico. His mailing address is 639 Knollwood Dr., La Vergne, TN 37086. His telephone number is (615) 793-2204 and his e-mail address is [email protected].
I will be contacting the other District V staff members for permission to use their telephone numbers and e-mail addresses. That should make it easier for the contest directors (CDs) when questions about upcoming events need answered. Please remember that your event notices should be submitted 90 days (or three months) before the month you want them to appear in the magazine.
District V Web page: I want to make some changes to the Web page after I have had a chance to talk to Bryan Cupps.
I would like to have all of the chartered clubs listed with addresses and zip codes. This will help members quickly find the proper contact person and club.
It might be good to see District V events listed on our Web page after Dick receives and approves of them. This way everyone will know what is scheduled for each month and the location of events in their state.
Remember, your sanction papers are not sent to you as soon as you send them in for approval. It depends on the date of your sanction as to when you will receive your papers. If your event is scheduled several months in the future, you will receive the sanction papers closer to its date.
You know we all have a favorite airplane we’ve built with a picture of ourselves beside it. I would like to put those pictures on our Web page. Please send your favorite picture through the U.S. Postal Service (no digital pictures) to the associate vice president (AVP) in your state. They can submit them all to me in one package and they can be posted on the Web page. Do not write on the back of the picture. Use a separate sheet of paper or card; print your name, address, telephone number, and e-mail address, and the name of the airplane, color, and year it was built. Pictures will not be returned.
Club patches or logos: I would love it if each club in the district would donate one patch or logo to the District V vice president. I want to make up a display board with all of the patches on it. There will be one board for each state. When they are completed, I can bring them to events and you can see all the different club patches in District V. Please send the patches to my address.
I am happy to announce that those associate vice presidents I have called have agreed to stay on. Soon I will have contacted them all and I will discuss my plans for the future of District V with them. If you have any questions regarding District V, remember you can always call or e-mail me. Alternatively, an associate vice president in your state may be able to help.
November is the election month for officers. Please remember not to send in your ballot with your membership card; the ballot goes to a different address. Mail in your ballot as soon as you get it and make your vote count for the person you want to win.
Now, let’s get down to club business. This month I received many, many calls of condolence for Jim McNeill’s passing. People offered me their assistance and I really appreciate their kindnesses. Please remember, this is your District V and it can only be what we each contribute.
Sherwin Arculis sent in the following pictures of the Rocket City Radio Controllers and one of the last events Jim McNeill attended.
