Chairman’s Message

By Susan Steeb

So this is what we do……….
 
What a fun “post section meeting” November. I was so inspired, the following weekend I joined the Visalia Formation flying clinic and got in 2 days and 4 formation flights. I got to fly with several of the pilots who performed our flyover. Then on November 16th we had our SLO99 flyout to Watsonville to meet up with over 20 other 99s from Bakersfield, Monterey, Ventura County, Bay Cities and Santa Clara Valley. We had a great lunch and decided we needed to do this again. 
So here is the line-up for the next few months:
 
December 4th - is our meeting date. We have decided to make this our Holiday party and Marina has agreed to host at her house from 6-9 pm (address in image below). Please bring a gift under $20 to include in our exchange.
December 11th - I will host a cookie decorating party at my house on Wednesday, December 11th from 5-8pm. Here is a little sample of our goal. Please come over and have some fun decorating airplane cookies! No experience necessary.
December 14th - After we deliver cookies to the tower, we will fly to Paso for lunch and host several other chapters.
January 11th  - The Bakersfield Chapter will host a fly-in to Bakersfield Muni
February 15th – The Ventura County Chapter will host the Santa Ynez Valentine’s Day flashmob fly-in.
 
This is a great way to get to know your chapter’s members as well as other chapters.

Thank you to Grace for flying with Haidee and one of the new Cal Poly students. I enjoyed Jill and Susan in my plane.
 
Happy Flying!
