"December 13th Christmas in Highlands was a Blast as Always!"

New Updates to Website 12/14/2009

 

Comments from the President on the Christmas Party!

 
      Welcome to the Online Home of

         Macon Aero
     Modelers Club

      Academy of Model Aeronautics

      District IV Sanction # 3114

           From Bob Wilson, President, Macon Aero Modelers

            Once again we had an excellent time at our annual Christmas party with plenty of good food, good camraderie and fellowship and lots of indoor flying after we ate and had a short meeting.

            Please welcome two new Board members, Stan Penland as VP and Dan Lange as Secretary.

            Bill Schadt will be staying on as a BoD member at large. Charley Berry will be replacing Erwin Gribble as Field Marshall and who will be in charge of field maintenance.

            Stan Penland was awarded a well deserved plaque as best pilot of the year 2009. Lou Vitale was awarded a plaque for his work in videoing our flips, flops and boo boo's. Oh, I might also mention that he has been promoted to "Videographer 1st Class." Same pay scale, however. And then there was Gerry Doubleday who was awarded a plaque for his efforts in flight instruction and who often spends more time teaching than flying his own aircraft.

            Our boo boo prizes went to Gerry as well for "most crashes of 2009" and to Gary Sorenson for the "most stupendous crash of 2009."

            Due to his advanced age Gerry Doubleday was also awarded a metal cane to help him get out to the runway which had a very complete array of appliances such as a horn, some false teeth, a bottle of vitamins, a magnifying glass and a squeaky thing at the bottom to warn people he is approaching.

            In short, everyone had a great time and it reminds us all that we all share a common goal in that we love all things aviation and can have lots of fun at the same time. Brotherhood of eagles.

            Oh yeah, one more thing. Lots of thanks for those of you who brought all of the great food we had. We really enjoyed it and it helped make the party a success.

            Well, that's it for now.

           'Bob Wilson, President'
