Message from the Pres
Hi All,
We have the unmeeting scheduled for May 16th. I have a field that will work for the 2nd annual delta dart contest or if the weather is not good I may have a building that we could fly the darts inside if it is not full of seed by then. The question is how many people would feel OK coming and being together in this strange time we now live in. We would do the best we can with all of the distancing recommendation that are in place now. Let me know what you guys think so we can make a plan to hold it or not.
Thank you,
Glenn Grell

Welcome to the Willamette Modelers Club in the Willamette Valley, Oregon
The Willamette Modelers Club, Inc, (WMC) is a non profit organization dedicated to the promotion of free flight model airplane construction and competition. The club meets on selected Saturday evenings during the Winter and Spring months at Pop's Branding Iron Restaurant in Albany, Oregon. We sponsor five of six indoor free flight competitions each year at the South Albany High School gym during the Winter and Spring, and we host three major outdoor free flight competitions in the late Summer and early Fall. These outdoor competitions are held east of Tangent, Oregon on local rye grass fields.
The club publishes a ten page newsletter covering Northwest Free Flight events and activities. This newsletter, "WMC Patter", is produced on an irregular basis 89 times each year and is sponsored, in part by Trumps' Hobbies in Corvallis, Oregon. Other programs and projects include publishing the NW Free Flight Directory, sponsoring events and competitions for AMA Juniors, sponsoring model airplane swap meets, displaying at various model aviation shows in the area and related activities.
Membership in the Willamette Modelers Club is limited to current AMA members only or foreign modelers who are current members of their national organizations. Membership is on a calendar year basis. Memberships costs $2.00 for AMA Junior age members (up to 14 years of age), $4 for AMA Senior Age members (14 to 18) years of age), and $6.00 for AMA Open age members. Membership includes a subscription to WMC Patter, the right to attend club meetings, make proposals and vote on various items of club business. For interested people who are not WMC or AMA members but still wish to subscribe to WMC Patter, the club offers a subscription for $5.00 per year.
