Regional SWPC Chapters
We have local club chapters covering numerous regions throughout the United States and three in Canada. These chapters provide technical help and information, as well as regular meetings that provide a good excuse to fly and have a good time. Business meetings are short and sometimes there are worthwhile programs. The goal is Fun, Food, Friendship and Flying. If there is no chapter in your area and you would like to start one, or to correct your contact information, contact the SWPC Chapter Coordinator, Lew Porter, 602 Wilton Road, Towson, MD 21286, (410) 823-2521.
