Flyfunston

1st Annual NorCal HG-PG Pilot Summit

(side note: some of the clubs may hold their monthly meetings at the Summit. Because our elections are at the December meeting and this party is relatively far from Funston, the Fellow Feathers will be having the monthly meeting at the usual time and place: Dec. 13 at the clubhouse. We're still going to the Summit, though.)

What: A region-wide summit for HG/PG pilots. Participating clubs include WOR, SFBAPG, BAPA, California Condors, Fellow Feathers. Invitees include Sonoma Wings, MotherLode Sky Riders, and any other NorCal club or pilot. Attend the potluck, educational and entertainment events, get new site and event info, renew your membership and get stickers, or just hang out with your fellow pilots. Families and non-pilots are welcome.

When: Dec. 2 6:30-11:30

Where: Palo Alto Community Center. 3800 Middlefield Road Palo Alto, CA (between Meadow Drive and Charleston Road). The community center is adjacent to Mitchell park and its fields, picnic area, playground, etc. ( see www.cityofpaloalto.org/co...kmap1.pdf)
