The past few years have been tough on everyone. It was nice to see various clubs in District II resume events in 2022 after the COVID pandemic. Thankfully, there is plenty of interest in our hobby from both experienced modelers and the general public.
Although some clubs might have experienced mixed results during their resumed events, 2022 was a rebuilding year and 2023 is an opportunity for future growth.
Celebrating the past helps to reassure us that “it can be done.” This month, let’s look back at District II events of past years and know that, with preparation and planning, your own club can benefit by hosting events in 2023. Now is the time to start planning!
Remember, it’s not about what you fly, it’s about the friends you make!
