Pomona Valley Model Airplane Club

For those that could not attend the May Club Meeting, I recorded and posted it to Youtube. Some of the topics discussed were members we lost, weeds, treasury report, Eliminator Air Races, costs on the rise, membership fees for 2023, Cal Poly's stem project at our field, Club Meeting Raffles, the snack shack break in, new gate keys and finally club t-Shirts.

As many of you are probably aware by now, the rc community lost one of its greats, Sam Wright on 4.1.22. He was best known in the rc community as the golden voiced announcer of all the top RC events throughout the country, but he was also a key member of the PVMAC for a number of years. Over the years, Sam helped organize, CD and narrate some of the most memorable flying events at the PVMAC, was a board member and was also the Editor in Chief for for our now defunct Flightline Newsletter. 

To honor Sam in the best possible way, The Scale Squadron, whom Sam was the Commander of,  has decided to rename their annual Warbirds & Classics event this year to the Sam Wright Memorial Warbirds & Classics Scale Fly-in. The event takes place June 3-5 at the OCMA Irvine field and Registration is now open.   You can View the Flyer Here  and you can view more information, and register for the event here.

Its been a long time in the making, but I'm excited to announce....That you can now order PVMAC shirts. We have made these available online through Teespring on our own PVMAC online store at https://pvmac.creator-spring.com
Teespring prints your shirt order on demand, and ships them to your door. After reviewing the samples today, we are very pleased with the quality and outcome.
Each shirt features a small PVMAC logo on the front left, and an epic P-40B low pass at our Prado airfield with the large PVMAC logo on the back.
There several options to choose from and a number of colors options.

• The Classic Tee is only $18 + tax & shipping and available in several dark and light colors of your choice. These are 100% Cotton and a classic standard fit.
• The Classic Long Sleeve is $22 + tax & shipping and also available in several dark and light colors. This is also 100% cotton and a classic standard fit.
• The Premium Tee is $23 + tax & shipping and features more color options than the classic tees. These are 90% cotton and 10% polyester, a slightly softer, premium feel and a slimmer fit.

(2XL + sizes are an additional $2 charge, however its only reflected in the total at checkout. I have a ticket with teespring to see why its not reflected in the cart price.)
Please check sizing charts before ordering.
Teespring accepts credit card, Paypal and Apple Pay.
Keep in mind they print these shirts on demand on a 3 day cycle, which starts after the 1st shirt is ordered and standard shipping is not the quickest. It took me a total of 15 days to get the samples, so please do not expect Amazon quick shipping, unless you pay for expedited shipping.

We are pleased to announce the 21st Annual Toys For Tots Fun Fly, which will be held on Sunday, December 5th, 2021.  To join the flying fun, the landing fee for the day is either a brand new unwrapped toy with a value of $25 or more or $25 cash. The first 50 people to make a donation will receive a lunch ticket for Zapatas Tacos, which will be served from 11am-1pm.

All donations & proceeds will go to benefit our US Military Families through the San Bernardino Childrens Fund, which has a goal of providing 30,000 gifts to children in need. 

All the fun starts at 7am, December 5th 2022 Rain or Shine

Please come out and support the Toys for Tots and . You can make a big difference to a child of a military family and all it takes is an inexpnsive toy.   Even if your not planning on flying,  bring a toy, enjoy the company of friends and watch the action. Toys are going to be in extremely short supply this year so the kids need us to come through this year.

This is an AMA Sanctioned event, and Current AMA card is required to fly. The 400' Rule will be strictly enforced.  

Just an FYI, There will not be a swap-meet at this event.
