Brrrrrrrr Baby its cold outside! Sound familiar? I think that’s an old song if memory serves me correct! I don’t know about everyone else, but the view from my cockpit has been square and flat and two dimensional as of late. But alas, I will not complain, as it’s really not that cold considering its January in Canada. With the holiday season behind us we are into another year and being optimistic… another decade. As a club, we can look forward to our annual banquet coming up February 26th, it will be held at the same venue as last year and ticket prices are being held at last year’s prices as well. I hope to see many of you there to recapture the fun that we share.

Stu has announced another Air Adventure in early to mid-June, this time they’re off to Wendover Utah and there is a really cool World War II airbase to visit with notable history.

We have some nominees listed for our election which will be held at the next meeting and things are looking good at this point and time. We are looking at ways to increase our membership and have some challenges, but we have, and will be, trying some new approaches in this new year.

One of the things that happened last year was a revamp of our website and it was with the intent of bringing a heightened awareness of the club and hopefully attracts new members.

Well amazingly, the website has really taken off and we just may have one of the best site’s going currently. I will be having Al Perreault, our webmaster, give a presentation and update on our website at the next meeting. I promise he’ll keep the language simplified in terms that we can understand. So as usual, we have a few things to get underway to kick off another fun year ahead and I for one am looking forward to it. If this weather doesn’t improve in the near future take solace; we have some more aviation series coming to the square eye, should that be your cockpit for the time being.

Lastly… be safe, have fun, and take a friend along.
