Happy New Year.

Terry Lamm is the winner of the 2006 longest flight of the year award with 18 min 1 sec.

SWIFT dues remain the same for this year. The treasurer will gracefully accept 2007 dues at the January meeting or mail a check to Dan and include your AMA membership information. Also include your home phone number, cell number and e-mail address for the roster update. The information will not be published on the web site.

We are planning a list for last minute calls to help get the word out for flying. Let any of the club officers know if you are interested in short notice flying.

The E-Glider KISS event proved to be a great attraction in 2006 and more events are in the works for 2007. Several members have new E-Gliders for the event and are hot to try their hand at climb and glide.

The COBRA club is having the January 3, 2007 meeting at USA Steak in the party room at 17^th and Broadway in Counsel Bluff, Iowa. Time, 6:00 pm diner followed by a short meeting at 7:00 pm.

Bring some show and tell and see you at the meeting.

I publish Metro Area R/C Flying to make a central web site for all the area R/C clubs, not to replace individual club sites, but to tie all of them together and promote growth and interaction between clubs. The most important service of the web site is to post the Metro Area Schedule. The schedule lists all the events for all the clubs in one location so that R/C flyers can see what events are available in the area and plan ahead. I believe it will also help the area clubs to work out their schedules so that a club event, will not conflict, with another club's event. The next most important service is to provide a Page that has maps to all the events, meetings, dinners and parties. Right after that comes the Newsletter Page which lists club newsletters. Reading other club newsletters lets members see what others are offering in the area that they are interested in and promotes interaction between clubs. This is your web site, if you would like to show-off your newest plane, or share an experience, you can E-Mail pictures and articles to me at: MetroRCFlying@Gmail.com There’s an Email Link on every page.
