• Fee Schedule Update Posted - All members are invited to review the updated fee schedule effective March 1, 2008 posted on the Members Info & Forms page. This schedule initiates our club's strategic plan to proactively manage uncertainty, enhance services and airplane availability, and provide the club the financial flexibility to act upon selected opportunities as they may present themselves.  The increases are tiny as they relate to individual members but because of the club's large membership, the effect is great!
