Dear Lancair Mail List Members,

This is an open email to solicit interest in a social flying club, the
Skylarks Flying Club of Southern California, that we belong to.  It is
centered on the Orange County area of California.

This is a 40-year old club that gathers for monthly dinner meetings with
an aviation related dinner speaker.  In addition, typically once a
month, there is a weekend flight put on by various members to spots in
the Northwest and Southwest.  A sampling of recent flights have
included: a trip to McMinville, OR to visit the Spruce Goose (including
a tour inside the normally closed plane due to insider connections of a
member); Idaho Falls, ID for the 4th of July; Yuma, AZ.  Some previous
flights included visits to the newly opened Kartchner Caverns and a
visit to the Lancair factory at Redmond OR over the 4th of July.  In
addition, the club's president puts on a 10 day or so trip to an area of
his/her choosing.  Over the years, these flights have included places
such as the Mid-west, New York, Alaska, and Canada.

Probably the most benefit for future member would be if you live in the
greater Los Angeles area, but we still have members in Nevada, Oregon,
and all over California.  

If you're interested, please send me a snail-mail address and I'll be
happy to send you a newsletter for August when we finish it in a week or
so.  This will include the next dinner meeting location on the third
Wednesday of the month to which you are cordially invited to meet some
of the members.

Sincerely,
Charles and Joanne Patton
