Marshall Weed Whacking - June 28

Alan Crouse — Tue, 01 Jul 2008 20:25:57 -0500

I have it on good authority that Mike Z and Joel were the weed whacking party and that each worked for many, many hours to clear the site.
Give them a hand and a big THANK YOU next time you see them.

Crestline Stairs - Rebuilt

Alan Crouse — Sat, 21 Jun 2008 20:40:38 -0500

CSS Volunteers rebuilt the stairs at Crestline launch today (6/21), and replaced the sign posts and a couple of timbers in the wall for good measure!

Big "Thank you"s to the work party crew: Rob (who also donated rides to Crestline), Rebar Dan (who also donated rebar :-), Kenny & Megret (who brought along tools, snacks and water, and little helpers), Dusty (more tools and a trusty new post), Mike B (who single-handedly cleared all the weeds from launch), Ken H, Tom S and Chris VV, and Mike Z (who did most of the organizing, preparing, rounding up materials and trucking for this event).

Crestline Stair Repairs

Enjoy the Graduation/Father's Day weekend and plan on a work party next Saturday, June 21.

The stairs at the Crestline launch need to be rebuilt after 25 years of use, abuse and finally some vandals in a vehicle.

Meet at the LZ at 9:00 and Rob has offered a ride/work/fly package. Bring your gloves (the stairs are railroad ties). Shovels and crowbars might be handy.

Thanks,

- Alan

Not only was the Andy Jackson Memorial Fly-In on September 15 a great day of food, fun and flying; but it was also a financial success for the club. Thanks to generosity of the pilots and raffle sponsors, and Dianne and her team serving up the food; we made over $1,000 for the club.

I'd like to recognize and thank the sponsors who made the raffle possible:

Atmosphere Paragliding
Flytec
High Adventure

2007/08 Memberships

Alan Crouse — Sat, 07 Jul 2007 10:38:33 -0500

I was looking at last year's blog entries and saw we had just broken the 140 membership mark on July 1, 2006. This year we are doing even better with 156 memberships received and processed by July 1!

All the improvements at the airpark are making it even a better place to train and fly. Memberships are the principle source of revenue for operations and improvements so if you are loving that green lawn, the cleared approach, the new training hill, etc., please show your support by becoming a member.

Memberships Arriving

Well the old blog was looking a bit empty so here is a bit of news to brighten your day.

Membership processing of renewals and new members is going well. Dianne and I have processed member #101!

If you have yet to renew, remember, your membership expired on May 31. Time for that new (and very sharp looking) membership card.
