RE: Sadly, We've lost a Club 40 Pylon Pilot
Hello everyone.
I would like to propose at this time that we as a group from Birmingham RC as well as any other area RC club that would like to join in, contribute to the Comer family with a monetary donation. As we all know, there are expenses at the time a loved one passes away that is not easy to deal with or come up with right away. I would like for us to take 2 weeks to get a fund secured so that we can see it gets delivered to Frank's wife Kay Comer.
The RC community is filled with lots of great people that come together in a time of need.We have a need and now is the time ! Lets show our support and our love to the family of Frank Comer in a grand way!
We will be accepting checks or cash. Any club officer will gladly take your donation.
If you wish to pay by check, you can make out your check to Birmingham RC and put "Comer Family" in the memo section at the bottom left so that we will know what your check is for.
If you wish to mail your check to Birmingham RC Club, the address is:
Birmingham RC Club
P.O. Box 185
Morris,Al 35116
( DO NOT mail cash contributions in an envelope, give your cash to one of the Birmingham RC Club officers)
I personally want to thank you for helping out with this great cause.
Lets make a difference!
p.s.,....If you are not aware, there is an online Guest Book that you can sign and share your thoughts with the Comer Family. It is located at:

Thank You,
Sincerely,
