Announcements:

Mike Neave knocked at the Pearly Gate,

His face was scarred and cold,

He stood before the man of fate,

For admission to the fold.

 

“What have you done”, St. Peter asked,

“To gain admission here?”

“A flying instructor sir”, he said,

For many and many a year.

 

The Pearly Gate swung open wide,

St. Peter touched the bell.

“Come in and choose a harp”, he said,

You’ve had your share of hell.

The Social Committee has had our first meeting of the year to plan the dates and activities for the Club in the upcoming year. We will be posting the dates and themes here as the time approaches.
