2009 Kid's Fly
On July 11, 2009 we threw our annual Kid's Fly party. Hosting the Spina Bifida
Association of Greater Cincinnati, we give them the best of
our best; a picnic at a beautiful site, Bob and Karen's famous
grillin' fare and an opportunity to fly an airplane.
We also donated $3,500.
In the photo, Mike Bluestein president of GCRCC and the 169th
Giant Scale Club and Mike Slaughter present our check.
Thanks to all the GCRCC members who donated RC airplane items
to our annual auction or participated at the Kid's Fly.
Through the auction we raised $3,375. The 169th club
kicked in $125 to make the amount an even $3,500.

Thanks to everyone who made the first AMA sponsored Take-Off and
Grow, GCRCC Open House on May 31, a great success. Despite the
windy weather, we introduce twenty one people to RC flying. About
thirty five GCRCC members turned out to help. At this point,
three of the attendees are joining GCRCC and the AMA. We hope
others will follow. Look for an even better event in 2009.
We are happy to email any participant full resolution copies of our
pictures. Click here
