What a great day at Olson Field, Saturday, October 25!  The food was delicious.  Thanks to everyone who brought food.  A special thanks to Tom, Bob and Ryta for bringing and cooking the wonderful burgers, brats and chili/cornbread.  A big thanks to Joe for the Pepsi (and the Cokes)!  It was nice to have so many members get together for fun, food and flying. 
Mark your calendars for the November 11 RC Club meeting at 7 where we will be planning the Christmas Party for Friday, December 5.  I hope to see you soon!
