Greetings Fellow Aviators,

The Lower Slobovia Outernational Garden Club would like to extend to You and Yours a cordial invitation to our next effort to cultivate more frequent pilotage, higher flour bombing accuracy, and an increased consumption of non plant food matter.

We will be serving lunch to you on Saturday, June 5, 2004.

I'll make available sheet metal tools & aluminum for anyone wanting their 1st exposure to metal work. For those interested in alternative engines, I'll try ot hav a Mazda rotary opened up for inspection. Formation flight teams are invited to attend & demonstrate their skills. (Mike Stewart, are you listening?) Plaques will be awarde for flour bombing, longest distance flown, & other categories & as determined by our totally biased judges.

Anyone wishing to arrive on Friday and/or stay until Sunday is welcome to do so. Just throw a bedrool in your plane/car & we will find yo a place to sleep that's out of the heat. There are lots of spare bedrooms, hangar apartments, floor space, etc. available with the sponsoring families.  We will do continental breakfast stuff in the morning & poll the participants for evening meal decisions. Some of our pilots actually consider themselves multitalented & encourage you to bring your musical instrument of choice for some homegrown music in the evening.

Now for the details:
