A significant amount of water remains so RC pilots are advised to use caution as water surrounds the runway and covers the helicopter / multirotor flight area.

Club members Cory Johnson, John Falkenbury, Jerry Gaidosik and Jonathan Gulick took advantage of the cold but sunny weather on Saturday January 23rd to cleanout the storage rooms we have access to in the restroom / concession building.  Three pickup truck loads of material were removed and taken to the dump.  Next to do is pressure wash the walls and floors and improve the sealing on the bottom of a door and on the bottom of two roll up/down doors to prevent critters and insects entering the spaces.  Thanks Corey, John, Jerry and Jonathan.
