Crestline Soaring Society

The first Fly-In of the summer is scheduled for July 8, 2008, and we'd like to make t-shirts for it, since we haven't done a club shirt in a while.

None of the CSS Board members are artistically inclined, so we're counting on members or interested parties to come up with a design in time for us to get the shirts printed and ready for the fly-in.

So please brainstorm and draw using whatever tools you like and come up with something soon.

The annual Andy Jackson Memorial Fly-In, celebrating the founder of our original airpark, will be held September 6, 2008. More details to follow.

Our first fly-in of the summer is scheduled for July 12, 2008. Details will be posted here - stay tuned!

Sylmar Hang Gliding Association cordially invites CSS friends and pilots to join us in our Flight Park on Saturday May 3, 2008 for our annual Spring Air Festival and Competition. Among many reasons to celebrate, we are 25 years old! It should be a great day of flying, BBQ and festivities. And, we would love to set our best pilots against yours!

Pilot check in: 9:30-11am
Pilot Meeting for Comp: 10:45am

Well here it is folks, sorry it took so long, but I was too busy flying

Like my other videos, it comes in 2 flavors:

1. Streaming Flash, 540p video, located on my videos page: http://www.designbydave.net/hanggliding . I made a little improvement to make the site load faster.

2. 720p .mp4 HD video via bit torrent http://www.designbydave.net/hanggliding/Wallaby_08.torrent Plays best in VLC: http://www.videolan.org/vlc/

1. Election Results
2. Follow-up on Lifetime Memberships
3. Establishment of dates for Fly-Ins (Proposed dates are July 12th AJ Airpark Fly-in and Sept 6th And Jackson Memorial fly-in)
4. Other possible club activities
5. Review of Dues/Fees

The CSS Spring 2008 General Meeting will be at the landing zone as the flying day ends, 12 April, 2008.

This is one of two General Meetings held each year by the Board, as directed by the club by-laws. Any member may raise any topic for discussion and vote at the general meeting.

It's the time of year to re-elect our CSS officers. For most CSS members it's something that just comes and goes and doesn't really affect them very much. And for those few that have volunteered to hold an office it's a time to wonder, why am I doing this?

Getting new blood into the CSS officer list is a good thing. The more we have members that have held an office and see the workings of how we perpetuate and grow the site the more strength the CSS has. But also, it is good to not make too many changes all at once. If we had all new officers in the same year, there would be a fair amount of reinventing the wheel as the new group tries to take hold of important items like keeping the site insurance up, having our tax returns done, paying our bills, processing new members dues and cards, etc.
