Sorry for the late notice!!! No Pancakes this month so social starts at 10:30, meeting begins at 10:00, and Ice Cream serving starts at noon. Our scheduled presentation will be given by Bob Gillespi about the Rose Parakeet featuring his very own. Unfortunately, it again looks like it will not be a favorable day for him to fly in even with that upper wing acting like an umbrella for the open cockpit. Hope to see you at the airport!!
