September Breakfast at Carrows to Include Aviation Safety Seminar
If we can get twenty members, pilots and non pilots, to commit to attend September breakfast meeting at Carrow's, we can have a fully certified safety instructor provide an appropriate safety related topic to our group. Let me know if you would be able to attend on the 3rd Saturday of September. We will have to limit the attendance, but it will be a good opportunity to invite a Christian pilot friend and introduce them to WOF and you both can get WINGS credit for attendance. Notify me ASAP is you can commit to this fun opportunity! email to jim yost,
