Well, let me tell you about our flying club. We have had the same older fellers in charge for several years until last week.
They didn't want,
1. anymore new members, we only have 10 now
2. don't paint the pits, bare wood is just fine
3. don't have any fun flys other than the existing members
4. don't raise the dues over the $10 per year, its just a waste of money to have that extra $ sitting in the bank
5. don't encourage anymore new members
6. don't put ads in the paper or radio about getting more members.
7. don't change anything from what it has been for years an years
Well, as of last Sat. we elected a new, younger Pres. and things are already starting to shape up.
our new Pres. is about 26-29 Y.O. an full of go get'em an starting to make things happen in just 1 week.
our first fun fly will be next weekend
dues have been raised to $25 to help with any expenses that come up
we will be painting the pits so it will last longer an look better
we are putting an ad in the paper an going on the radio to get new members
we will change things for the better
will be having a learn to fly day now
Not all of the younger people are lazy, irresponsible, an spoiled as some here think.
I'm 56 Y.O. an tickled to death to see this new blood an progress being made
