President?s Corner:

January proved to be a busy month as the Social Committee worked to complete the arrangements

for the Chapter?s first major speaker of the year.  Captain Jeff Ashby, USN retired and Astronaut Pilot

and Commander will be our guest speaker on February 9th.  Please remember that because of the

expected crowd our meeting location has been changed to the Star Bright Theater in Summerlin?s Sun City. 

The program will start at 7:30 as usual.  You can check the web site or call Dean Herrington, Jim Bonelli

or myself for more details.  This is one program that literally will take us out of this world.

 

The first fly out of the year to Sedona enjoyed the most unbelievable weather which made the sightseeing

aspect of the flight that much more enjoyable.  The formation flight made for some interesting photos taken by

Charlie Braun also available on the web. Palm Springs is our next fly out destination on February 19th. 

You can find all the details and sign up on our web site.

 

Another reminder is the Young Eagles event at VGT on Saturday, February 5th. We expect one of the largest

turnouts of kids for the day.  More on the Young Eagle day as well as the Astronaut presentation in our next newsletter.

 

I would appreciate your feedback, comments and suggestions on the proposed programs and fly out schedules. 

Please email me at dmlvegas@cox.net.

 

Look forward to seeing you at the Star Bright Theater special program.

 

Regards and Safe Flying.

 

David Lerner
