2015 Dues
Well fellow flyer, first comes the IRS and then comes your club treasurer with his hand out. It’s that time again for renewal of club dues. $150 cash or check made out to “Alvin RC Club.” You may send it to Alvin RC Club, PO Box 30, Alvin, TX 77512 or place it in the box. I’ll get your new card to you. It’s gold this year (but not worth any more than last year’s.)
Thanks, Grady

National Model Aviation Day
AMA has selected August 15 for the National Model Aviation Day. We are in the process of planning for that day. Model Aviation Day is a day that all AMA sanctioned clubs that can will hold a flying event that will give AMA members a great day of flying and friendship and encourage the general public to come out and see what model aviation is all about. Much of the proceeds will go to Support of Wounded Warrior Project.
In 2014 the model aviation community donated $100,000 to the Wounded Warrior Project
More information on the day can be seen at the Model Aviation Day website.

Flu Information
Some Good Advice from Member Tom Youens
Many already know this, but it might be worth while to pass this on to the members.
This years flu is already near epidemic proportions. Although the vaccine is still worth while, the most dangerous strain has unfortunately mutated and is not covered by the vaccine. There has already been many deaths in those over 65. To me this means staying away from crowds as much as possible, as well as taking the flu vaccine. You should also stay away from people if you have flu symptoms.
You can usually tell the flu from a cold by fever. Colds do not usually cause elevated temperature, so if you have fever there is a high probability that it is the flu. An antiviral (Tamiflu) is available and helps if taken early. It’simportant to go to the doctor immediately if you have fever along with cold like symptoms.
