President's Message

NOTICE OF ANNUAL MEMBERSHIP MEETING
AND ELECTION OF OFFICERS AND DIRECTORS:
Ted Miller's Hangar, Hooks Airport
Saturday, June 21 at 4:00 p.m.

Our May Board meeting was held at the Spaghetti Warehouse on May 15, 2008. There were 9 persons present, some officers, members and guests. The plan to have the June meeting at the Soaring Club of Houston did not materialize. We may visit there or at the Greater Houston Soaring Association at some future time.

The June annual membership meeting will be held on Saturday June 21, 2008 at Ted Miller's Hangar Hooks Airport at 4:00 p.m. We will do this pot luck dinner style, so everybody bring a side dish or dessert please. To get there from FM 2920, so south on Stuebner Airline Rd, turn right on Thora Lane, go all the way to the taxiway and turn left. It's down near the south end of the airport close to the threshold of Runway 35R. The main order of business at the annual meeting is the election of officers and directors for the coming year. The following is the slate of officers and directors to be voted at the Annual Meeting:

  • Dick Wilson – President
  • Vacant – Vice President
  • Al Smith – Secretary
  • Harry Johnson – Treasurer

    Directors:
  • Brian Arnott
  • Carol Brackley
  • Rodney Jochens
  • Ted Miller
  • Rick Rawlings
  • Doug Scott
  • John VanPaasschen
  • Greg White

The participation of some GHAFI members with the Galveston Lone Star Flight Museum in April was considered a success and a good time was had by all. On Saturday, June 7, 2008 the Houston Executive Airport KTME, is having a party starting around noon, I think. This airport is near Brookshire and Katy. I have been there before. Everybody is very friendly and I have always been treated well.

J.L. Cavallera was at the Board meeting. He is one of our members and a glider instructor. His number is 713-523-8400. He offered to take any of us for a glider ride for free at the Greater Houston Soaring Association gliderport. This is on Hwy. 36 between Wallis and Orchard, very close to the BUHOL intersection on your charts. He will however be gone during the month of June.

I am always open to any member who wishes to call me concerning any GHAFI matters. My number is 832-498-8802; email bgarnott@sbcglobal.net.

Brian G. Arnott,
President
