News from the FFFaBBQ !

If you weren't there, we're sorry we missed you.  The annual FFFaBBQ, Family Fun Fly and BBQ (pronounced FaB Q?) was a hit! Perfect weather, great attendance, delicious food, thrills, spills, and togetherness.

Special thanks to the parents of the Youth for enabling the kids to fly and learn.  This year the Youth organized and executed several of the events, and everything ran so smoothly!  They are our future, and it's looking bright.  We love events that mix up youth and adults.  Youth benefit from mentoring, and adults are reminded how much FUN the hobby can be.

Need Insurance Expertise

Dear Club Members,

Is there anyone out there with experience with insurance, or broker of insurance?  The club could really use some of your help in a consulting role.  There would not be much time involved.

This has to do with interpreting the insurance requirements in our current agreement with King County Parks, and making decisions on requirements for contracts with the contractors who will build the new storage shed and charging station for us.

Thanks!
