November Monthly Meeting Saturday 8th
We had November's meeting at Pam's house in Lake Havasu.
Plans for the Christmas party were finalized and Shannon handed
out the invitations. It was a lovely day and we enjoyed eating
breakfast outside on the patio. Ashley was a special guest, she
is in Havasu this week and will begin flight training with
Shannon-how exciting! And it was so nice to have Tookie back
from her lonnnggg vacation.
 
London Bridge Days Parade Sat Oct 25th
I love a parade! Don't you? Especially when we win a Ribbon
for our entry!
  
Jan and Gary Riley built us the most wonderful radial engine
airplane golf cart and we tied it into the parade's theme of
celebrating 30 years of incorporation by remembering McCulloch's
"Flights to Paradise" in the Lockheed Electra to the old island
airport. Shannon's parents and Dianne Tobin's family were some
of our own that came here on those flights. How brave!
We met behind Smith's at 8am to be ready when the judges came
by to review our entry. The parade was so large this year that
we didn't begin walking until after 11am! We used the time while
we were waiting to go over plans for the Christmas party. It's
important that everyone get their invitation list into Shannon
as soon as possible. This year's party will be the invitation
you want to receive! We are holding the party at the London
Bridge Resort on the night of the Boat Parade of Lights. Our
room has a balcony running the length of it, overlooking the
channel and the London Bridge-the most perfect spot.
All that parading really worked up the appetite and we met at
Barley Brothers for a delicious lunch before heading down to
Rotary Park to collect our Ribbon. What a great time we had!
