Sharks Tales ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ Newsletter of the Sheboygan Area Radio Kontrol Society April 2018 +++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ The Prez Sez By Mike Gradinjan Say Hey, SHARKSters! Florida was warm, but home is certainly a LOT cheaper. I spent $1200 for one day at Universal Studios/Adventure Island, and that was just INSIDE the parks! Good thing my oldest daughter picked up just about everything else for a week with her and the grandkids. Back in Wisconsin, it looks like Old Man Winter can t decide whether to release his grip on us. I know my house and I are ready for summer. Indoor flying at Oostburg has wrapped up for this winter season and Bob will have the final numbers at the meeting, but there are still April 21 & 28 at Lakeshore. Contact Al at 920-946-8260 with any Lakeshore questions, and please remember to be generous at the door. All proceeds get turned over to the school. This Friday, April 13, the AHC Movie will be Wings of a Warrior, the Jimmy Doolittle Story, the life story of the legendary flying pioneer and Congressional Medal of Honor winner. Helpers and indoor flyers should be there at 6PM, with the movie starting at 7. Please let Dave Meyer and me know if you can help out. It s important that we man the concession stand at the movie to show our appreciation for using the AHC for our club meetings and annual swap meet for free when we have one! Our next meeting will be Saturday, April 14 at 9AM at the AHC, and there is a busy agenda. Plymouth High School is asking for us to put on a presentation sometime before the end of the semester. Rockets for Schools has invited us to man a booth at their event on May 11 & 12. Meals on Wheels is having a fundraiser on June 30 and has asked us to put on an RC demo. Al Scheblein has worked on a lawn mowing map to use for documenting our hours, and we need to take nominations for our

officer and Board Member elections. We ll talk more about these and anything else you can think of at the meeting and hopefully get everything arranged. Your 2018 club dues should also be taken care of. Remember if you didn t get your 15 hours of labor in to include $5/hr for any shortage. We ve decided to keep the dues structure the same again. Please legibly complete the included application so we can accurately update our club records. Current paid up members will get their key for the new lock at the gate, so it s just another good reason to take care of your dues. Bill sent the flyer for the KAF Fun Fly on June 2, which is included in this newsletter. That's about it for now Mike ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ President, Secretary, Newsletter & Web Editor: Mike Gradinjan Vice President: Warren Waddell Treasurer: Joe Kuranz Board Members: Dave Meyer, John Mazzanti, Todd Ullman WEB LINKS http://www.sharksrc.com www.amadistrictvii.org
