President, Tommy Vinci talked about our new field. He said we have the use of the field for 1-3 years or until the Office Park Construction is started, but we are still looking for a Permanent Field for Lease or Purchase. The Club ran an ad in local papers looking for land but had no calls on it. Tommy said we are getting some fill dirt and going to level out the runway then call a Workday to clear rocks, debris and install fences/pilot stations, etc. He also said a frequency check of the field shows no radio interference.
