Members Corner

Remember, we are an all-volunteer club. We almost always have more jobs than there are people or hours to get them done. Check with Don, Terry or Rick if you have some time, expertise or other things to donate.

Costs have gone up, so fees must also. However, hidden within this increase is a cost reduction. We no longer have to charge sales tax on plane rental to members. As of June 18, 2008 the new rates for plane rental will be as below:
-Hourly rates for planes will increase:
     - Ercoupe                $60.00
     - Citabria                $65.00
     - Cessna 150           $65.00
     - Piper Cherokee    $90.00
     - Piper Arrow          $105.00
Gasoline surcharges will continue unchanged.

New Green Castle Blog is up and running
Many of you have no idea what that is, so here is a definition from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

A blog (a portmanteau of web log) is a website where entries are written in chronological order and commonly displayed in reverse chronological order. "Blog" can also be used as a verb, meaning to maintain or add content to a blog.

Blogs provide commentary or news on a particular subject such as food, politics, or local news; some function as more personal online diaries. A typical blog combines text, images, and links to other blogs, web pages, and other media related to its topic. The ability for readers to leave comments in an interactive format is an important part of many blogs.
