First Quarter E Bulletin

The first quarter E Bulletin has been posted. IRCHA has been updating the website to be able to mass mail the membership with the bulletin and other updates. There has been a couple of glitches, so don’t be surprised if you see a couple of test emails as we prepare to make this option work.

You will also notice the bulletin is no in the hands of Byran Rowell. He has been in the impound trailer at the jamboree in the past and has stepped up to help on this project.
Thanks Bryan

2008 Nominations & Election

The nominations for the 2008 election were closed on Jan 1st. The only nominations we had were for David Millner and Fred Gambino (both were incumbents). Being that they are running unopposed we will forgo the election since there is no need. So we would like to congratulate them to there new term to the board of directors. At our next official board meeting we will be voting on what seat each board member will hold for 2008. At the conclusion of our meeting we will post the updated list of officers.

Congratulations Dave and Fred.

IRCHA Updates

In our continuing efforts to provide our members with more benefits and information about IRCHA and the helicopter community we are making some updates to our website. These updates will allow us to mass e-mail all current members with information about IRCHA, Events, Newsletters etc. We are also happy to announce that we will now have an official newsletter editor. This person will be taking care of creating, collecting information, posting and distributing (thru the website) the quarterly newsletter. We have appointed Bryan Rowell to get us started for the 2008 calendar year.  Thank you Bryan for stepping up to take on the task! Next addition to the website will be an archives page of manuals from as many different radios, machines, motors and electronics (gyro’s, governors etc.) manufactures as we can collect PDF’s for. We are going to set this up so you select a brand and it will take you to a page with all their products (at least all the ones we could get pdf’s for). Also in the works are 2 other pages, a benefits page explaining the benefits of IRCHA and a new products pages where we will post new/improved items as we receive information from mfg’s.

Now in order to make a lot of this work we need some help from our members, in other words help us help you. We need to get our records updated with current addresses and e-mail addresses. So we need everyone to go into there account and make sure that there address and e-mail address are current. If you need help getting into your account please contact myself or Shannon Lloyd @ secretary@ircha.org and we will be glad to reset your login information so you can update your account. If you have any questions please feel free to drop me an e-mail.

Align Trex 500

For those of you who have been anxiously waiting, Align has released the official product information on the Trex 500. We have all been watching the posts on forums wondering and hoping will it make it in time for Christmas. Well it appears it might be just happen. I am going to bet that this is the hot seller of the season. If you have a favorite shop I would call and see if they have a preorder list as these are expected to sell out.
