District VII Report - 2003/07

July 2003 153
AS MANY of you know, the AMA vice
presidents write these monthly columns
three months in advance of actual
distribution. This column is actually being
written in April when many clubs are
already enjoying spring flying.
I attended the Toledo Expo in early
April and I can tell you the weather did not
act as though spring had sprung! We had
ice storms, sleet, and rain, with thunder
and lightning. We experienced a drop in
temperature from 70° to 35° and high
winds. It was a real bummer for this time
of year.
Our weather hasn’t been the greatest in
this area, but hopefully it will improve so I
can get to some of the scheduled activities.
This brings up another subject.
Occasionally I receive comments asking
“why don’t I see my club in your column?”
Well it’s quite simple. I answer, “Has
anyone sent me any information as to what
your club is doing?” I certainly would
appreciate articles of interest and I’m sure
other clubs would like to see what is going
on in other areas of District VII.
To generate some interest in providing
pictures and articles for this column, here
is a montage of some past events in the
district.
Until next time, C.A.V.U.
