8th Annual Toys For Tots

Posted by Scott on Nov 28, 2011 in Announcements, Events | 0 comments

The time has come for the 8th Annual Toys for Tots Fly-In sponsored by Gateway RC Club. Come out and support a great cause in the form of Christmas presents for underprivileged children. There will be some great pilots prizes and special prizes for those among you who are able to bring a new bicycle for children who, by no fault of their own, find themselves in the grips of poverty. I will make every attempt to get to the field at the butt-crack of dawn so you early electric flyers can get a jump on the combustion engine boys. As usual Dave has said he will be there to cook up some lunch. Take a look at the attached flyer and plan to attend.

Thank you,

Don’t forget to put Saturday November 12th on your calendar.  Don Gentry and I will be hosting this years Gateway Fall Fling Member Day and Membership Renewal Fly-in on your schedule.  We plan on having at least one event / contest during the day, and the food will be free to all Gateway members.  Family’s and friends are always welcome, but food will be free to members only.  Additional food tickets will be sold as food allows.  I’m working on a possible guest cook this year, so what will be served will be announced at a later date.  If no guest cook is available, then count on BBQ and Fried Chicken.  Got an idea.  Email me.

I’ve spoken with the President about the Club hosting another Membership renewal raffle like was done last year, the Board is considering it.  To refresh your memory…  The membership raffle last year was for a DLE-55 gas engine.  The way it worked was If you renewed your membership at the Fall Fling you received two raffle tickets…You had up to and including the Banquet to renew your membership to receive one ticket.  This years raffle prize, if authorized, will be announced at a later date.
