No field manager or ground support..
Hi everyone, With our next club meeting scheduled for November 15th, I wanted to get a head start on something meaningful before then. A coworker of mine at Teq has a husband who serves as the Operations Manager at Long Island Cares, and every year I try to contribute to their Thanksgiving Food Drive. This year would be a fantastic opportunity for LISA members to come together as a club and support this effort. I’ll be placing a collection box in the clubhouse for anyone who’d like to donate non-perishable food items. Last year, my company helped contribute over 400 pounds of food, and this year we’re aiming to reach 800 pounds with the help of the LISA community. Some of the most needed items include: Breakfast cereals and oatmeal Boxed or bagged grains such as pasta and rice (brown or white) Canned fruits (low sugar or no sugar added) Canned meals like soups, pasta meals, and stews Canned proteins such as chicken, fish (tuna, salmon, etc.), and beans Canned vegetables (low sodium or no salt added) Cooking and pantry staples such as condiments, spices, olive oil, and sauces Dairy items like shelf-stable, canned, evaporated, or dry milk Toiletries, including toilet paper, tissues, and paper towels Baby supplies such as formula, baby food/snacks, and diapers Pantry staples like peanut butter, jelly/jam, and 100% fruit juices I’ve attached an image from Long Island Cares that visually lists these items as well. I’m also more than happy to drive and pick up any donated items or share a secure donation link from Long Island Cares for those who prefer to give virtually: https://amplify.ampyourgood.com/user/campaigns/4989 Please note: I’ll be away starting November 20th so the final pickup deadline will be the weekend of November 14–15, or up to November 18th for any last manual or final club drop-offs. Every contribution, big or small, helps make a difference for local families in need this holiday season. Thank you all for your generosity and support — I’ll coordinate the collection and ensure all donations are delivered to Long Island Cares before Thanksgiving.

Y'all should meet at the LISA Club House / Sun Deck at 11AM (or later on the field) Brian Robey will provide Glider instruction from 11AM, and some towing if needed Jon Brez will come around 1PM to tow and let Brian CFI-G or vice versa, you decide! Student should show up early and help with pre-flight tasks (also check the TAF?) Feel free to add your name(s) to the Reservations list here on this website...
hey all! Jerry Pokrywka got lanyards and stickers for the club to rep our logo! They are in the clubhouse on the bookshelf behind the simulator for those interested. Taking inspiration from him, I’m looking to gauge interest in club t-shirts as well! These would be with the current logo (different from the polos Shawn Simms did some time ago). Price would most likely be in the $25 range (dependent on # ordered). If interested/have feedback or suggestions, please fill out the google form below. The bottom two links contain sample images of the T—shirt design (just ignore the red border :) Thanks for your time, Katelyn https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLSe4yBzw_lqycvMMZkkPnICc39rVZJxrhnPkhXcxTnmN84ACYg/viewform?usp=header https://share.icloud.com/photos/00f_moGF3q_YqEENfgrOUuFpQ https://imgur.com/a/1V0Ri3a
No tow pilot or CIF-G on site, so no Ops for lessons... now intro flights, etc... Licenced / current folks can arrange their own flights, book an airplane here. Have a nice Sunday
