Our club party is scheduled for March 8th at the Freedom Township Hall, 11508 E Pleasant Lake Rd, Manchester. The event officially starts at 1:00pm, but you can start showing up at noon to help setup. It is a pot luck affair and the hall has a kitchen with stove, fridge, and sink if needed. There will be a business meeting as well as officer elections. We will also have a raffle and auction. You are welcome to donate items to as the money goes towards the club general operations fund. The party will conclude at 5pm.

 

Mid Winter Update:

We hope everyone has had a very good Holiday season. Thought we would give folks an update on what is going on club wise.

First off, we are pleased to announce that Jay Calvert has won the latest altitude contest. The target altitude was 1898' and Jay put in a remarkable flight of 1893'. Only 3' off! Tony managed to snag 2nd place with an altitude of 1812'. Congratulations to you both.

We'll be cooking up another contest for this year so stay tuned.

We'll be having our annual business meeting/potluck/raffle/auction in March on a Saturday yet to be determined. We hope to have it at the Freedom Township hall, the same location as last year. Check back here for updates.

We are also looking for a new board member to fill a vacant seat. If you would like to be on the JMRC board please send and email to bod@jmrconline.com.

Speaking of the BOD, the BOD will be meeting next month to discus future plans. If you have anything that you would like us to discuss please email us at bod@jmrconline.com and we'll add it to the agenda.

We hope to start flying again in March, depending an the weather of course. We'll let you all know when we know!

Thanks everyone for a great 2024. Let's have more fun in 2025!
