October Club Activities
T
he Allen Parish Fly-In was fantastic. We learned alot about how we will do the "Parts Mart" next time. It was great fun for all that attended. If you missed it, there are going to be some pictures on This website shortly. A great amount of thanks to the setup and tear down crew and those who manned the Parts Mart. More people need to get involved and show club support. Again Thanks to everybody involved. If anyone has picturesof the Allen Parish fly-in and would like them on the website.Please get those pictures to me as soon as poosible.

I
t's here, The Southwest Louisiana Ultralight Club's "Fly-In 2001" The Rain has forced us to postpone the Fly-in until next week. Please let everybody know now so they can make plans.Field Day
W
e should each take some time out of our schedule to redo the field and get ready for next week. The weatherman says it will be a nice day. Lets hope it stays that way! Don't forget we also need to thoroughly clean the concession stand and get it ready to serve our guests. Visitors are generally curious about everything at the airfield this includes hangers. This might be a good month to put your hanger in shape for visitors. They will probably explore your hanger. With everything shipshape we can all enjoy the October Fly-in activities.October's Fly-in

A
s I am new to the club, this is new to me. Sound Like a great Idea! So I understand it to be: Every December we have a dinner for club members and wives. This has always been a nice informal way to visit and get to know one another and our families better. We usually go to a restaurant with a banquet room large enough accomodate us all so we can have a private party. Those of us who like to speak in front of crowds will usually provide some entertainment. The agenda is very loose with a priority on doing what ever we want. The meal is Dutch treat. So everyone try and fit this into your December schedule. If we have some suggested dates or new ideas out there lets bring them to the meetings and see if we can't improve an already pretty nice evening.
