NEWSLETTER:
Nothing to report
FIELD MARSHALL REPORT:
Alex stated that the north end of the field was torn up
by somebody using a truck. The ruts and pretty
deep due to the soft soil and the roller was not able
to give much help. This is going to be brought up to
the Parker’s by Steve. The dollar weed was also
becoming a big problem and is taking over the field.
Something is going to half to get done about this.
Steve is also going to talk to the Parker’s about this
and maybe they can suggest some options.
SAFETY:
Sterling was not present to give a report. As we get
closer to the summer months, remember to hydrate
and bring plenty of bug spray. The new sunshade
should become the hot/cool spot this year as the
days HEAT up!
COMMITTEES:
Dave brought up the questions of having
another ALES contest for 2015. After a vote ending
with a unanimous in favor, the club will be hosting the
2015 ACRCF ALES contest coordinated/directed by
Dave Milliong.
OLD BUSINESS:
Joe gave a brief without the presence of Sterling and
was happy with original language that Sterling had
created. The only issue is to the cap that should be
placed on the new category (6 vs. 12) Steve will be
sending out Ballots via email/mail to all of the
members soon. The final vote will be held at the
upcoming meeting. New changes to the club rules
will be coming up in the near future as well. This will
incorporate the new layout of the field and operations
under the sunshade. Sterling will have more to
follow on this coming up.

The story of PBY-5A CATALINA (Strawberry 5)
discovery and restoration for the US Navy museum
in San Diego can be viewed from the link below. It’s
a great story pertaining to the Battle of Midway and
the turning point in the Pacific Theater of WWII.
