Congratulations to Marc Talbot and all the directors, Marc is our new President, David Shale for Vice , Yvon Lecour for Treasurer and John Huggins for memberships. As my term came to a end 3 years in the making, I would like to thank all the help that I received from our members and directors . I believe that we have a strong membership we do great things together as a group. Our group has organized many activities over the years, with the Young Eagles program and most recent the air tours and breakfast.

<strong>Congratulation!!!<em> We like to thank Lloyd Richards for all his devotion and compation to fly all these kids as he celebrates 2300 children from the age of 7 to 18 yrs of age that join the ranks as Young Eagles. This program was started many years ago to get interest in young kids that never had the experience of flight. Hoping one day that they would become pilots themselves.</em></strong> <br />
