Well, this photo captures a very tradional start to one of our monthly Exec Board meengs, where everyone runs down to the host’s workshop to see what they’ve been up to (in this case, my shop). It’s common pracce to spend a few minutes checking out what’s new before we get down to the important business of running our club and making sure everything is planned out for the upcoming flying season. It’s also a great way to get feedback from your peers! So, I menoned highs and lows this month. Yes, March has been a very mixed bag for the JCSF. Starng with the good stuff, we had another excellent club dinner at ‘618’ in Freehold. The Exec Board decided to shake things up a bit and try out some new ideas, which based on the inial feedback we’ve received went over extremely well. We opted to have a buffet versus a sit-down dinner this year, plus we moved the fesvies from a Saturday night to a Sunday aſternoon. Both were well-received, and it’s very likely we’ll keep this format again for next year’s dinner. More info on the dinner later in this issue. On the low (shall I say sad) side, we lost two long-me members this month. Many of you will remember Bob Zupp Jr., who was a long-me member who recently moved to Florida. Bob lost a hard-fought bale with cancer this month at a young age. For those of you who remember Bob he was an avid electric flyer and was a fixture at the field for many years. Bob was very passionate about the hobby and loved to talk to everyone about his latest and greatest project. I ’ll definitely miss his gregarious nature. While we knew that Bob was sick, losing Chris Wantuck to a heart aack this month was a huge shock to all of us. Chris was one of those guys who maybe didn’t fly as much as we’d like to see, but was always there to support the club and all it did. Chris was nor- mally the first guy to raise his hand to pitch in, or as many of us know, find us a place to meet when we lost RBRHS. He ’ll be sorely missed. Please don’t forget this month’s club meeng is Wednesday 3/27 at 8pm. We’ll have our regular Model of the Month contest, plus please don’t forget club dues can be paid at the meeng, as they are “due” by 3/31. Photo by Mike Kouridakis
