JRCC is a local Radio Control Club located in mid-Michigan.  We get only 7 months of the year to fly and we make every day count. 

Our field is located in beautiful Jackson, Michigan in the backwoods of the old city landfill on reclaimed Pete Dillon Field. Yes, that’s right! So no houses or people to complain about the noise of our roaring machines.

January Club News in B

President’s Corner
By Mike Roxberry

Another year is upon us. Spring is just around the corner and the warm weather will be back with us very soon. I hope you all have had a good winter thus far with lots of new RC projects on the workbench. Don’t forget to get your old planes in shape for the new season. A little effort now can save a whole lot of time when the weather gets better. Do a thorough cleaning of all the components. Check and cycle your batteries. Cleaned up, tuned up and get them ready to fly.
  
The newly elected officers and board have began working on club issues during their first board meeting of the year on January 25th at Denny’s, reviewing issues that are important to the membership. We continue to need improvements with communication in and about the club and its activities. The Website is up and running with the terrific help of Dave Gray and Tania Evans. We still need someone to take a leadership role in getting club information and news out to the membership on a regular basis through the website.

Members are encouraged to share articles or information that can be posted on the website for every member's benefit. We are hopeful that the website and club news enhancements can keep the membership better informed and up to date on club activities. Check it out often.

Budget planning; establishing the clubs Calendar of Events for 2010; New Pilot Training; Field Improvements and Maintenance; Membership Meeting Enhancements are being planned. Bring your newly completed projects to the club membership meetings so everyone can see. There are some plans in the works to have more family events this year for members. Keep watching for more information.

Tom Mitchell continues his recovery from illness. We wish him our best.

Remember club rules when out to the field. Safety is our primary objective. Use good techniques when starting your airplane making sure to keep clothing and hands away from that spinning prop!

Watch for the President’s Corner in coming months on the web site.
Mike R.
