January
Happy New Year!
I’d like to welcome you all, as we begin a new year as the Eugene R/C Aeronauts!
We start this year with a fresh, firm, beautiful grass runway, thanks in great part to Jim Corbett, our green thumbed field maintenance supervisor!
Jim spent countless hours last fall to oversee the steps required to give us the wonderful field that we will all enjoy for many years to come!
We will be having our first club meeting of the year next Tuesday, the 16th, and I am hoping for a good turnout! We use our meetings as a launchpad for events during the year. If you want to see certain things happen during the year, they begin with our monthly meetings. Our January meeting helps us to set event priorities for our yearly budget meeting, which our leadership does between our January and February meetings.
I would love to see some new event ideas for this year!
See you soon,
Rog

March
Hey All,
I want to welcome you all, as we “March” into better weather ahead!
We have started to see signs of Spring, and if we keep our fingers crossed, we might see even more blue sky this month!
We have come together for our yearly budget meeting, and are hoping to do, as well this year, hitting our budget, as we did last year!
We will be having our club meeting on Tues. 3/20, at Abby’s Pizza, and would like to see as many of you as possible! Our first event of the year, on Memorial Day, will be here before you know it, and we want to begin planning for that!
I really would like those of you who have not paid your dues for 2018 to please get that done! The dues should be already collected, and it causes an unnecessary burden on those who volunteer for the club, when they are not paid on time.
See you soon,
Rog

April
Hey All,
One of my favorite things about Spring is watching the days getting longer a little more each day!
It reminds me that summer is coming!
I’d like to invite all our members to take advantage of our lovely flying field as the weather allows! We really have a nice place to enjoy our hobby!
Join us this month for our club meeting!
See you there!
Roger

May
And suddenly, summer arrived!
Hey All,
It’s that time of year! Time to get out and look up into a blue sky!
Please plan on coming out to our club meeting this Saturday, to eat some health dogs, and discuss things that fly!
We had a good month of May, with two different flying events, and are looking forward to more good times this year! I want to especially say Thank You to Jeff Lutz for his organizing those two events! Jeff even ate the smoke from the BBQ! Thanks Jeff!
Our flying field is in great shape thanks to our green thumb recipient, Jim Corbett! Be sure to take the time to say thanks, and offer any help that you can, as there seems to be always something we can help out with.
Hope to see a record turnout this weekend!

Winter build maiden day May 26
Memorial day fun fly May 28

Jim reported elk have crossed the west end of runway. He will fill in hoof prints when he can. For now watch out for holes at west end of runway.
Jim reported that we need to change out the wind sock. We have a spare but will need to be done when at least three people are at the field.
Meetings at the field this summer will be held on Saturdays. There will be a bbq and we can fly before and after the meetings. Time of meetings is still undecided but somewhere around mid day. Hopefully this will encourage more people to attend meetings. If nothing else it will give members one day a month we can get together and fly and B.S.

Secretary’s Report for March 2018
February 20, 2018 meeting minutes
Meeting called to order at 7:04 pm.
Old Business:
MonsterFest dates are up in the air at this point possibly August 24-26
Club members were open to the idea of a possible IMAC event at the field more research would need to be done as to what was expected of the members.
New business:
Frank will be building a nice field table and Merry Cohen will have a plaque made to memorialize Mickey Cohen.
The decision was made to rename The Winter Build Challenge. It will be called the Mickey Cohen Memorial build challenge. It will be held May 26. The new field table will be placed, and we will affix the plaque to it.
Frank Blain had a couple of Mickeys planes at the meeting for sale.
Meeting adjourned at 7:46
All members of the Eugene RC Aeronauts are encouraged to attend this event. There will be several maiden flights as well a club sponsored BBQ and time to reminisce about the good times we all spent flying with Mickey.
The Creswell RC Flyers have been invited to attend as well.
Yours Truly, Jeff Lutz

We also honored Mickey Cohen by releasing 83 red and purple helium balloons. Thank you, Mary Cohen, for supplying the balloons and for joining us in a very special day at the field. The BBQ donations for the day were donated to the Leukemia and Lymphoma Society. We raised $130.00. Thanks to all that donated.Also, thanks go out to the pilots that participated in the build challengePat Willis, Oliver Willis, Darren Faiman, Frank Blain, Chick Foster, Dwayne Graville, Warren Edwards and yours truly. It was a great deal of fun and I look forward to doing it again next year. I have a feeling we will have a few more planes in next year’s maiden party.

Tuesday March 20th. After this meeting anyone that has not paid their dues will be dropped from the club roster and will need to pay an extra $25 to be reinstated. This means flying privileges are suspended until dues are current.
