“The club exists to have a field to fly our airplanes and enjoy fellowship with the like-minded. Everything we do must serve this end. To keep our club healthy for ourselves and attractive to new members we should do more plane flying, continuous exercising of common sense, less fussing about the small things and being kind to others. Compromises, safe practices and reliance on collective common sense will generally promote the greater good. Be safe, engaging, have fun and help where you are able.” ~Dan
