I’m going to blame it on the time I have been spending up north but it’s my turn to agree with you. The only real events I have found to work at all are club open houses and demonstrations at full scale air shows. That being said, we will usually gain only two or three new members per event.

That is why why when we do see somone with that spark we need to cultivate it into a flame. That was the main intent of giving that pattern airplane to that young man earlier this year. When I am settled in the new location I have a few more airplanes that will be donated to some worthy members of my new club. Like I said before, it’s what I am able to do right now.
