2016 LARKS Spring Fling-April 1-2
We have been involved in introducing modeling to children of all ages, sending children to camp, doing flying demos at local schools, churches, and parks. We have also set up simulators and static displays at various locations as an educational experience to our community. We are always open to new ideas to promote our hobby to others in a safe way.
Gary Hair became a member at the February meeting. He said that he got the bug again after visiting Joe Nall last May. Welcome!
