President’s Report for September 2006 

Ann Sasaki 

Several of my friends said recently that the flying season is winding down.  I guess that’s true in terms of thermal strength and warm weather, but to take an optimistic view, the season is never over.  From now on, we may spend more time looking for the small soarable windows whether in the mountains or at the coast.  Usually there is some flying to be had somewhere.  And when things get really bad, then many people flock South to warmer climes.  

Looking ahead, there is an Elk Mountain Fall fly-in on the BAPA calendar for the weekend of October 21-22.   Please contact Gregg Hackett for more information.  Wayne Clingingsmith is putting together the 2007 BAPA calendar – Wayne hopes to allow each member to vote on the selection of calendar photos.  If all goes according to schedule, the calendars will be available at the BAPA holiday party.
