Prez Sez
Hi folks!
As we begin the month of February, there lots of things are happening.
Just today, one of our members asked me are we for sure incorporated now.
I told him yes, that as of last November we were officially incorporated.
We also need to take a hard look at the projects that we need to accomplish
this year. I'm hearing that a significant number of folks are determined
to replace the orange snow fencing with chain link due to the orange snow
fence not holding up as we had thought. We also need to revisit the
issue of leasing Bollin Field from the City now that we are incorporated.
The next few months should be a busy time of determining which projects
we tackle this year, and in what priority. I look forward to each
and every member's input on this subject at the next few Club meetings.
And now, what most of you read this column for, some fun; the following
are a compilation of quotes from skygod.com:

You can always tell when a man has lost his soul to flying. The poor b-----d
is hopelessly committed to stopping whatever he is doing long enough to
look up and make sure the aircraft purring overhead continues on course
and does not suddenly fall out of the sky. It is also his bound duty to
watch every aircraft within view take off and land.
