Presidents Corner
Hi everyone,
It's my last newsletter as president. Scott Cordy
will be taking over the duties and I will be the vice
president. I am sure Kelly will be happy as I am
always late with the presidents corner, now he can
get the newsletter out on time.
It is December already and the temperature is
pretty nice. I might go out to the field this weekend
if the winds are not too bad. I am not calling it
quits quite yet. Maybe I will see some other
diehards out as well, it is always more fun with
others.
Don't forget about the lasagna party on the 31st of
December at the Outreach Center in Forest
Junction.

The Mens Action Network is in need of more
volunteers. A few of our members have moved
away and others are out on mission trips.
We get together at the Outer Limits (Church St in
Forest Junction)the second Tuesday of each
month at 6:30pm. We have a short devotion or
study and then plan a service project. Service
projects are done on a Saturday morning and
usually last about four hours.
We are in need of more men who want to serve
God and community.
Please,help us help our neighbors by promoting
this ministry. Below is a link to the web site.

Happy Thanksgiving!!
As the end of the 2015 flying season is fast approaching our minds go to winter builds and putting skis on a
few planes and hope for a few good days to get our flying fix in! Also as a club we are focusing on our
2016 club event!
For the Sky Ranch Flyers (West Bend, WI) we only have one show a year to help support the club and to
support our local youth group! And for our airshow in 2016 will be held on June 25th (for the past 25 years
we always have our show the weekend after Fathers Day)
For the Sky Ranch Flyers, 2015 started out with our club coming to agreement with our neighbors and our
township on our Conditional Use Permit (If you want to see a copy of it please let me know, I will be glad to
share the CUP process with your club, if needed).
So with the CUP behind us we focused on the 2015 airshow, which turned out great! Over 500 visitors and
55 pilots from around WI and IL joined us for a great day of flying!!! Thank you to all the clubs that
supported our event!
Our club also made lots of road trips to other clubs in WI - As far north as Green Bay MAC (a great club!!!)
as far south as Racine (another Greta club!)! So we are trying to support your events as well!
We also added more runway and a much nicer area for the heli guys!!!
All I ask, is that you send me your 2016 events so we can let our members know what is going on in the
Midwest!
So in closing the Sky Ranch Flyers wish you and your family a Happy Thanksgiving and hope Santa brings
you that big bird for Christmas!
As always you invited to stop out and fly at the Ranch!!!
Thanks you
Bob Schmidt
President - Sky Ranch Flyers!
