I BEGAN writing this on Christmas Day, so
that tells you what the lead time is to get
something into the magazine.
I am already firming up my schedule for the
New Year and encourage everyone to invite
your local associate vice presidents (AVPs)
and me to your events. We get a kick out of
attending the events and we get a real feel
for the pulse of the membership.

THINGS HAVE heated up! After record
rains, we have had tornadoes across the
area. Now the heat is building and so is the
flying season.
