President?s Corner:
January proved
to be a busy month as the Social Committee worked to complete the arrangements
for the Chapter?s
first major speaker of the year. Captain
Jeff Ashby, USN retired and Astronaut Pilot
and Commander will be our guest speaker on
February 9th. Please remember
that because of the
expected crowd our meeting location has been
changed to the Star Bright Theater in Summerlin?s Sun City.
The program will
start at 7:30 as usual. You can check
the web site or call Dean Herrington, Jim Bonelli
or myself for more details. This is one program that literally will take
us out of this world.
The first fly
out of the year to Sedona enjoyed the most unbelievable weather which made the
sightseeing
aspect of the flight that much more
enjoyable. The formation flight made for
some interesting photos taken by
Charlie
Braun also available on the web. Palm Springs
is our next fly out destination on February 19th.
You can find all
the details and sign up on our web site.
Another reminder
is the Young Eagles event at VGT on Saturday, February 5th. We
expect one of the largest
turnouts of kids for the day. More on the Young Eagle day
as well as the Astronaut presentation in our next newsletter.
I would
appreciate your feedback, comments and suggestions on the proposed programs and
fly out schedules.
Please email me
at dmlvegas@cox.net.
Look forward to
seeing you at the Star Bright Theater special program.
Regards
and Safe Flying.
