The Academy of Model Aeronautics awarded a $50 Club Recognition and Reward Grant to Cajun R/C Club of New Iberia, Louisiana. The club hosted their first Fly-in Invitational in two years under the new leadership of current President, Mitch Folse, who hopes to make the event popular again. There were no prizes or competitions at the fly-in, but club members from all over the state participated. [caption id="attachment_2736" align="alignright" width="300"]
