Falcon Flyer Newsletter

[redfalken]

Hi Everyone,

The new issue of the Falcon Flyer newsletter was just mailed. If you've received an issue in the past or sent me your name and you don't get one, send an email to info@rainierfalcons.com (do not reply to this post with your personal info).

Please let me know the following:

- Name
- Street address
- City, State Zip
- Phone number
- Are you a member of the Falcon Club of America? (If yes, include membership number)
- Year/Model of Falcon(s) owned

As each new issue is published, I will post a PDF of the previous issue on the "Newsletter" page of the website. This will be the last "free" issue before we begin taking dues.

Thanks to Roger for his hard work as usual. You can show your appreciation by sending him a story, photos, or anything else you might be able to contribute. This will keep the newsletter an interesting and worthwhile read for the members.

Yeah! I'll finally get something "good" in my mailbox. Yes, thank you Roger for your hard work.

This issue has part one of a multi-part story -- so if you want to read the whole thing you're going to have to PAY FOR IT! :D

And yeah... how about some submissions people! I'm supposed to be the newsletter "editor" meaning I edit what you guys send. So get up off your lazy Falcon behinds and send me some STUFF. :bicker: Otherwise I'll have to start pasting in family pictures from my trips to Oregon and California to visit my folks. Oh, now THAT would be exciting. :eek:

Roger,

Are we going to have club dues or what? Not that I am eager to part with my hard earned social security but I think the rest of the group should be kicking in to cover some of the overhead.

Pat and I worked a little this weekend on setting up a web page for taking applications and dues but we're not quite finished. It will be ready very soon and I'll post an announcement as well as email everyone when it is.

The good thing about volunteers is that we work for cheap. Bad thing is we're not always quick! But we do eventually get things done.

Roger - all ya gotta do is shout! Let me know in advance when you'll be starting to work on the next one, and I'll try and do another rare birds article.

As for joining, I'm still on the fence - even though I have a garage now, I may end up parting with my bird in the near future - it's a tough decision I'm not in a hurry to make.

Kenny - I'd be happy to be responsible for doing the events listing next year when the goodguys schedule comes out, but I'll need access to the website - the reason I mailed it to you to write up this past spring ;)

You mean LIKE THIS! :)

Really, that's about all I seem to do, I think. I ask for stuff in every newsletter in some way or the other... and I'm beginning to sound like a broken record. So send stuff ANYTIME YOU HAVE TIME and I'll get it in. I'll keep at it regardless of submissions, but I don't want the newsletter to always be the "Voice of Roger" if you know what I mean...

That said, I need a new Member's Ride car for the next newsletter. Anybody want to write me up a story and send me some pics of their car? How about Gary? You have lots to tell and pics too. I vote you for the next newsletter. What say you?

Roger,

I guess what I meant is if you have a specific request of someone don't feel shy about asking in advance. Having said that, I'm a bit short on ideas for the rare birds column. You're covering the Rallye Sprints, and I haven't even started research on the Falcons from the Custom Car Caravan - that's kind of a long term project. If there's a rare falcon people would like to know more about, please let me know (P.M. me off the list so it remains a surprise when the newsletter comes out) Thanks!

Yeah! I'd like to! I'll see if I can steal some time and put a story together. When's the deadline for the NEXT newsletter?

Thor, you've always been willing to help.. so don't think that last message was directed to you exactly. I'd appreciate anything you come up with whenever you can come up with it, and if I don't get it in the next newsletter, I'll put it in the one following it. And for what its worth... don't sell your Falcon! It's a piece of history now that it's been in the newsletter....:rolleyes:

I'm going to try and do two more before years end, so I'm thinking the next will be in early October and the last one around Christmas/New Year. So you've got a little time to put something together.
