A huge thankyou to Jim Grant for sponsoring the Poker Fun Fly. Obviously, we wish that the weather would have cooperated last week as a number of members who were planning on coming last week could not make it this week. But while it was a bit cool today, the sun was shining and overall it was a great day for flying.

While I am certainly not the best flier, I did win first place – and $200 – in the Poker Fly by drawing 4 aces and a king with my cards. Chris Bohn came in second – $150; and Bob Irish third – $100.

We had two new items for the Fun Fly today. One contest was who could land closest to the yellow square on the runway. We used the 3 landings from the Poker Fly in this contest. After all the flights were finished, Bob Irish and I were tied with landings 44 inches from the center of the target. We were both given one more flight and the one who landed closest would win. I landed 8 feet from the target but Bob won the contest by landing 7 feet from the target. Bob won $100 for this.

The other new contest time was ribbon cutting. A ribbon was hung between two poles. Contestants were given three tries to cut the ribbon. Bob Irish was the only one to successfully cut the ribbon and he did so on his second attempt. Other flights were very close, but only Bob cut the ribbon. Bob won another $100 for winning this contest as well.

Best wishes to all. See you on October 6 at West Michigan Academy for our monthly meeting.

Unfortunately I have to cancel the Poker Fun Fly for tomorrow. The weather forecast has not improved; they are predicting a lot of rain. Therefore, we will try for next Saturday, September 26. At this point, I am NOT planning on the picnic. However, if I can work out details for a picnic, I will let you know later. But plan on the Poker Fun Fly for next week Saturday.

I guess that I am a “bad luck” president. We had to cancel our summer picnic due to rain. A few weeks ago we had to cancel the church picnic of the church I attend due to rain. And now we have to cancel our Poker Fun Fly due to rain. Hoping for next week. I am on a losing streak.

Your bad luck president,

Tom DeVries

Also, the sign was deployed with metal posts and placed behind a boulder to hopefully protect from the snow plow this winter.
