While at Joel's b'day party last night, I notice a new print as an addition to the clubhouse. It shows a little about the progression of aviation over the last 100 years.

I'm sure everyone has read about the Women's Festival in the fall, in the USHPA magazine. Here is more on that, from one of the spokespersons.

Hello all you hang gliding people:
The organizers of the 2008 Women's Hang Gliding Festival have scheduled some great activities for the upcoming event, beginning with a wine/cheese reception late afternoon on Thursday, Sept. 25.
We will have an Open Mike Night Thursday evening, so all closet musicians/comedians/entertainers can come and share their talent,whatever it may be. Well, you know, within reason. So people like Gordon, Dave, Stacy and Don Murdoch, Roddy/Rex, Rachel, Liz, and whoever else would like to participate and have some fun, start working up yo' stuff and let's make it a great success. Seriously, it really could be a good time, but only with participation and support!!
Friday evening we have plans for a terrific Disc Jockey to come and play great dance tunes, along with a delicious catered dinner.
On Saturday evening we have hired a cool band out of Chattanooga, a catered dinner that evening as well. During the day Friday-Sunday, lots of training on the hills, ground schools, fun flying tasks for active pilots, seminars for everyone, some great videos, several creative non-flying activities are planned, and we will conclude with the awesome John and Dale Bird Show in the hanger Sunday late morning. Whoa, how could you miss this???

We are counting on pilots to begin "marketing" this event to anyone, male or female, who has even a remote interest in hang gliding. Our objective is to empower more women to take a look at this great sport, but we are certainly interested in the guys being a part of it as well.
Check out the website for registration. Anyone who might want to volunteer a little of their time to help out prior to or during the event, please let Dale or Jen know of your interest.
Until next update, fly safe and have fun!
Stacy
