Default RDRC's Fly for Tots This is THEE EVENT folks!

Holy Cow, it's that time of year already folks! The RDRC annual "Fly for Tots" is jussssssssst around the corner, and it's already looking to be bigger than last year. For those not familiar with the RDRC FFT, this is an annual event held by the Raleigh Durham Radio Control club. It's main purpose is to raise as much money as possible in a two day period, and donate ALL of our income to a selected charity. Last year we raised a whop'n $17,000 in two days,through raffle ticket sales, food sales, pilot registration, and donations given by spectators. 100% of the proceeds were given to the "Victory Junction Camp" located in the heart of NASCAR country. This year, the "VJC" has been chosen again, and we're really excited about helping this really special group of folks. If youre not familiar with what they do, you can find lots of information about them and all of the RDRC FFT details on our new web-site www.flyfortots.com
In this site, you can get detailed info about "VJC", our biggest money maker,"raffle ticket" sales, pre-registration for the event,hotels,directions to the event, time's ,dates, demo's, pictures and video from past FFT events. You also get a list of our many great sponsors, and you can even purchase advance sale raffle tickets for the event.
And lets not forget the FUN we all have at FFT. This is one of the few events around that you can fly ANYTHING!

So be sure and check out our new FFT web-site, and our club web site as well. Better yet,,,,,start making plans to attend the event NOW!
