Casa Grande RC Flyers Holds Another Charity Event

The Casa Grande RC Flyers, an Academy Of Model Aeronautics “Award Of Excellence” and “Gold Level Leader” winning club, will hold their second charity event this winter season benefitting the Pets In Need Action League.  The event will take place on Saturday December 14, 2019 from 8:00 AM until noon at the club airfield located at 2725 S Isom Road, which is across from the public shooting range.  This event will consist of a radio-controlled model swap meet, free model airplane flying lessons, (weather permitting), and the opportunity to watch the club’s membership fly their aircraft.  Some members may also be using the club’s improved model car race track.  The event is free, as are all the club’s events, and the public is welcome to attend and enjoy the morning.  Representatives from Pets In Need Action League will be on hand accepting donations, as well as offering coffee and pastries provided by a local bakery.
The Pets In Need Action League's primary goal is to keep pets with their families and out of animal shelters.  They accomplish this through their free pet food bank, their spay-neuter assistance program and their humane education program, “Canines with Class”.  They also strive to address the complex and serious issues of pet abandonment, animal cruelty and neglect, and dog and cat overpopulation. 

In keeping with the Casa Grande RC Flyers mission to give back to the community, the club will be presenting a $1,000.00 contribution from the Diane Warren Foundation to the Pets In Need Action League.   “We hope that the public will be generous and support this worthy charity when attending this event, as they have supported our other charity events” club president, Alan Friedman, said.  

The Casa Grande RC Flyers is an Arizona non-profit corporation established to promote the hobby of model aviation and to give back and support the community.  A schedule of their many other events, directions to their airfield, and membership information can be found on the club web site at www.CasaGrandeRCFlyers.com
