Our annual Fly-In was held last Saturday.  Despite high winds and low ceilings most of the day, we had a good turnout and everyone that attended had a good time.

 We were very pleased to welcome a new member at the Fly-In. Many of you know John Carr, because he provides many of our members' FAA medical exams. Dr. Carr is an FAA Medical Examiner and Flight Surgeon.  His practice, Carr Medical Group, PC is located in Loganville. He flies a Taylorcraft BC12D, and is rebuilding a Stinson 108-3.

Since the Fly-In was last weekend, we will not have a Pancake Breakfast this Saturday. Our next Pancake Breakfast and Meeting will be held Saturday, November 15th.

We had a great turnout for our August Pancake Breakfast and Meeting last Saturday. We welcomed new members Ralph and JoEllen Reed. The Reeds are both pilots. Ralph is building an KitFox IV, and JoEllen flies their Twin Comanche.

The flyers for our October 11th Fly-In are being printed and distribution will begin this week.

We have two Fly-Outs planned in September : Morristown, Tennesse on September 13 and to Kennedy Intermnational's Breakfast on September 27th. Additional information is in the Calendar Section.

Our next Pancake Breakfast and Meeting is Saturday, September 20th. All members and Fly-In volunteers please plan to attend, since this will be our last meeting prior to the Fly-In.

ALL MEMBERS -- PLEASE SEND AN E-MAIL HERE AND LET US KNOW IF YOU CAN VOLUNTEER FOR THE FLY-IN.
