two day Soaring Seminar - Pennsylvania

Doris and I are attending The Seniors contest in Florida and will
return to Ridge Soaring Gliderport shortly after mid-March.

Thanks to those of you who have signed up for the two day Soaring
Seminar March 28 – 29. We have decided to conduct the two day event,
even though attendance may be less than desired. We have outstanding
speakers who will specifically present information that will make you
a better pilot.

You can sign up on our web site www.eglider.org, or phone our office
at 814-355-2483.

Once again, we will offer parachute packing during the seminar, so
bring your parachute.
