those who volunteer for trash duty, and other items we discussed.
The O.R.C.C.C. has purchased a new Char-broil 3000 Stainless steel
grill. No more lean mean grilling machine (thank god). Try out a
burger on the new grill and thank the ladies in concessions for all
their hard work week in and week out.
Remember the last Saturday of every month is a club clean up and
work day. Please see Dennis Steinhart for more info and to volunteer
to help.

NOTES FROM THE
BOARD
A word from our treasurer. The club has had a great year
financially. We are still working hard to generate revenues as we
are unsure of our property situation with our landlord being ill.
Once we know for sure about the property we will be able to move
forward and make some great purchases for the club. We have approved
the purchase of a welder so the roof can be put on the drivers stand
along with repairs to the drivers stand stairs and to the drag for
the track. As you will notice with a new grill, the trees being
trimmed, and the future plans we have we are always working hard to
improve our club's facilities and that we are a non profit club.

FINAL THOUGHTS
My father Bret
and I started in R/C back in 1984. There was a guy we meet back then
and have always raced with and have remained very good friends with.
He has moved to the area and will be racing with the club. All of us
as club members need to welcome and help out new racers as you never
know who you will meet. Don Chenoweth is a friend of almost 20 years
because we helped each other out. Please welcome him and all new
racers.
Secretary
Mike Martin
