In August of 2018, Alvin RC Club lost one of our most dedicated and well-liked club members, Mike Vawters. As our vice-president and safety officer, he provided our club with invaluable leadership and expertise through the years. This year’s Fun Fly is to honor him for his contributions to the club and to the hobby. This event was his idea of having a Charity Fund Raiser Fun Fly Event to welcome other clubs to our flying field just to have an enjoyable day of flying and camaraderie.

Good morning,
The ARF Flying Club has a Fun-Fly-In scheduled for Saturday August 3rd. Please if you would, circulate this to your club members.
The field is in beautiful shape, aerated, filled, rolled, and the grass is in good shape. Guests and AMA Pilots are welcome, and Pilots please bring your AMA Membership card. Hopefully, unlike our April event which we had to cancel, we will have good weather this time and a great event for all!
A Flyer follows – a number of the Texas Warbird thunder group are planning to attend so we will have some beautiful planes and a super show. We’ll have hamburgers Saturday, all the trimmings, drinks, and plenty of deserts. A brand new VQ Spitfire ARF is waiting to be raffled off, and needs only minor assembly, engine, servos, and receiver. If possible, a food donation for local needy children would be greatly appreciated.
So – bring come on out and fly what you got; or kick the tires and buy, sell or trade airplanes, parts, and equipment! We’ll have a great time and look forward to seeing you-all!
Best regards,
George Moran

The Fun Fly for next Saturday December 1, has been cancelled because the field is just too wet.
However, since this event is held as a charity event, we are asking anyone who wants to donate to leave the donation in the box in the club house or with any officer of the club before December 8th. Be sure to mark the donation as a donation and not for drinks or supplies. If you cannot make it to the club house, just send Grady an email with the amount you would like to give and we will add it to the donations.
We will present the money collected to the sheriff of Brazoria County for distribution to the needy for Christmas, just like last year.
We did get a good start from the people that attended todays meeting.
