Our Club keeps getting bigger and better. The current membership which numbers 59, including family members, makes it over 100 people. WOW.... It is growing and that is GREAT because this makes the activities, that are already very interesting and varied...well attended.......and THAT makes for more interesting get-togethers...
A
terrific turnout (60 plus) was
evidenced for the Club’s Annual Cookout
held Saturday evening, September 20th
2003 at the home of Monte and Bobbi Lichtiger. It was a covered dish affair and
there were “plenty good vittles”.....Having the right tickets meant going home
with door prizes for the following attendees:
Tamiami Aeroclub Shirts were won by Barbra Wampole, Jose Gilibert, and
Bobbi Orth. Platters of roast beef, turkey, and ham were won by Stuart Wilson (
a guest of the Brannings), Wendy Smith , and Ursula Davidson respectively. And
Myriam Rosaly won $40.00 from a 50/50 Raffle....Everyone had a great
time............
Another fantastic event was the famous Sunday Brunch at the Seminole Country Inn that brought 11 planes, plus one car on October 19th 2003. Thirty people showed up in the misty, overcast morning to enjoy the food. Our newest members, Jorge and Silvia Bolanos and Al Manautov, were able to join us. It is always great meeting and greeting new friends and old friends. The delicious country meal had many in the Club going back for seconds........but all were able to be “stuffed” into the van to ride back to the airfield.
Our Cruise Directors, Bobbi Lichtiger and Sue Bodley have
put together a wonderful
weekend in
St. Augustine for November 21-23,2003.
