February Membership meeting

Fellow Members –
Happy Groundhog Day (or, as the late, great humorist Lawrence Peter Berra opined, “It’s deja vu all over again”).
As it turns out, I did not see my shadow today, so I think it’s safe to announce that our first Member Meeting of 2017 will be held on Sunday, February 19th. In keeping with tradition, we’ll attempt to wash one (or more) of our aircraft, followed by a BBQ and hangar flying session. I hope to see you there.

October membership meeting and BOD meeting

The October member meeting got off the ground with non thunderous rain! The drops fell and everyone fit well inside the hanger. Votes were made and the existing board was reelected along with new member Michael Scarito. With the ‘thrice around’© cancelled due to rain we had a Q&A session with Liz Sommers our chief pilot and Will Golden, club ne’er-do-well and former ATC stooge. Afterwards the stories flew, merryment was had and pictures were taken.

The next BOD meeting is on Thurs, Oct 20, 7:30 pm at Signature.
