Members overwhelming request for Pilot's Only Parking
A fairly large number of members attended the February meeting to request that the club creates a Pilot's Only Parking area behind the new shelters. By almost unanimous vote the membership approved the construction of the parking, tentatively scheduled for the beginning of March. $1200.00 were approved for purchasing wood and other materials.
Please DO NOT use the old runways as parking until the project is complete!

Sunday, February 1st, 2009 the final stage of construction was completed. The pit shelters got their canvas roofs installed.

Chris Hogan took some pictures of the event mainly showing a little surprise by our Pig Master, John Czencz. John is learning to make paella and decided to use us as guinea pigs...
