A special thanks to the Wichita Falls RC club in Texas for hosting the annual District VIII rally. The club members went overboard in setting up and acquiring prizes for the event.
District VIII said “we’ll meet again” to Doug Powell at his farewell celebration. Doug served the district as a contest coordinator for 20 years and is probably the best-know member in our district. Doug will be missed, but look for him at events. He’ll be there.
