I just want to thank all our members for making 2009 a great year for the club.  We had several successful events this year, opening day, Warbirds, Electric Fly, Fun Fly, closing day and our Turkey Fly.

The club has grown 20% for the third year in a row.  We now have over 60 members.  I attribute this to our club members for making it a fun and relaxing atmosphere to be in.  We do a lot of events and we have a lot of fun doing them.

This year I want to make the club a Gold Leader Club for the AMA.  this distinction is only shared by a handful of other clubs.  It signifies that we as a club can put forth an example for other clubs to follow.  For any prospective members it means that we take our hobby seriously and will provide all the tools necessary for them to become successful R/C flyers.  I strongly believe that our club is outstanding among other clubs in our district and even in the country.  Some of the special help things we do are unique to our club and are recognized by the AMA as being above and beyond the expectations of a R/C Club. 

As an example, in the latest issue of the AMA magazine, we received all of the district II pages devoted to our Oki Sunokee presentation.  Another item is the North Brunswick Kids that is championed by Lyn Alford and Jim. Vigani.  The AMA is reviewing the short clip on the NJ Education Stations and may be willing to get involved so we can expand the program.

All in all we have accomplished a lot this year.

Have a happy New Year and see ya at the freeze fly.
