BELATED HAPPY BIRTHDAY - to Suann Prigmore on Aug. 23rd.
HAPPY BIRTHDAY to Sue Kerr on 9/20; Susan Hill on 9/20 and to Diane Schneeweis on 9/30.
 
PARTY:  Our party at Taylor's was great.  To add to the fun, we celebrated with Cheryl Knight as she had passed her Pilot Test
and is now a full fledged pilot and a 99!!  Along with her proud husband we congratulate you Cheryl!
 
INTERNATIONAL:  We will be represented at International Conference by delegates Lois Erickson and Barbara Crooker.  Both of them along with Suann Prigmore and Diana Ward will represent us at the SW SECTION MEETING IN SAN FRANCISCO.
 
CELEBRATION:  Our Liz Dealey and husband just celebrated their 50th Wedding Anniversary and have left on a flying trip across the U. S.
 
POKER RUN:  Sutter Buttes is joining the Red Carpet Aviation in Yuba County Airport in a poker run.   You can get an application from Willa Young.  This will be fun!
 
PALMS TO PINES:  The race was flown in almost perfect weather. 
Our Suann Prigmore and co-pilot Willa Young came in THIRD PLACE. 
Donna Taylor and Audrey Schutte came in SIXTH PLACE.  Barbara Crooker and Diana Ward came in ELEVENTH PLACE and got a trophy for the fastest plane time first leg of the race. 
 
At the Pilot's Briefing in Santa Monica there was a raffle.  Every one of us (Mt. Shasta racers) won a cute little toe ring with an airplane on it.  Just to show off, we wore them to dinner and to the Taylor's party.  There is a picture attached.* 
 
SPECIAL NOTE:  All of you that know and love Lucy Shepherd and her daughter, Diane Schneeweis.   Please, you need to pray for Lucy.  She is very ill.  Lucy was a member.  She was generous, funny and loving.  We have missed her at meetings because she no longer was flying. 
 
REMEMBER THIS:  Before each flight, make sure that your bladder is empty and your fuel tank are full.
 
FLY WITH FLAIR
