Default Get out of the Cold and SOAR!

The Everglades Soaring Club in Immokalee FL has created a Monthly Membership
category for glider pilots who want to escape the frigid weather up north
and go soaring in balmy SW Florida.

We are located 20 miles east of Ft. Myers and Naples on Florida's gulf
coast. Typical temperatures in January and February range from the mid 70s
to low 80s. Fly down for a couple of weeks and go soaring with us, while
your spouse enjoys our beautiful beaches (or goes soaring with you)!

Our club has a Balanik L-13 and a Schweizer 1-26. The Monthly Membership
fee is $500. 50% of the Monthly Membership fee can be applied to a full
membership if you upgrade within 12 months. The Monthly Membership fee
includes unlimited use of our gliders (club sharing rules apply).

For more information check out our web site:
http://www.evergladessoaring.traditions.com/. Feel free to contact one of
our club officers for more information. We can even provide tips on local
accommodations!

$500 a month??

Interesting.. 1/3 the annual dues for one months (1/12th) dues

Naples has a freeze warning and red flag alert tonight. I'd hardly
call that balmy!

By the way, we hit a record temperature today of 80 degrees in
Scottsdale. No freeze warnings, no red flags.

No Balaniks either.
