Boy Scout TAG Day
(Take off And Grow)
Boy Scout Troop 239, from Monroeville, enjoyed learning about R/C flying. They watched demonstrations of flight and safety as well as trying to fly an R/C aircraft using an R/C trasmitter and a computer simulator. The parts of an aircraft, the four forces of flight and the three axis were discussed. They will return next month to try flying an R/C plane on a buddy box.

Wild Party
The Club's Christmas Party was held at the Sun Beach Cafe in Holiday Lakes on December 6. The food was delicious and the Pirates Drawing was a hoot. After changing owners several times, the much coveted heat blower eventually wound up back in Dennis Jackson's hands.
