January Meeting - Special Day
Written by Tom Moock   
Monday, 22 December 2008

Hi Everyone,

The next BAPA meeting will be held January 21 at Marie Callender's in Serramonte Mall, Daly City, to give time for everyone (especially me!) to get back from their winter flying Holidays.

The social half hour starts at 6:30 p.m. and the meeting starts at 7:00 p.m. 

See you then --  Tom Moock
 
Big Sur is CLOSED
Written by Dave Wills   
Saturday, 03 January 2009

According to the Battalion Chief for the Los Padres National Forest and Ventana Wilderness all roads will be closed into the Spring due to unforeseeable slides that will result from this Winter's rainfall following the significant Summer fires. A lot of work is going on there currently (replacing bridges and clam shell work to keep the main roadways clear). Conditions may improve (depending on weather, etc). Here are the contact numbers for current info:

Election Results are In!

Monday, 22 December 2008

Not quite as close a contest as many of our recent US Government elections, but the BAPA results are in.

Thanks to everyone who showed their support for our officers by casting a ballot in this uncontested election.  We had a 17.5% voter turnout.  All nominees have been elected (although someone thinks Mike Walker should do double-duty as Treasurer - I think they want him to have control over the checkbook when organizing next year's parties!! :-)

Congratulations and Thanks to our BAPA Officers for 2009:

President: Tom Moock
Vice President: Rolf Bienert
Treasurer: Susan Kent
Secretary: Tim Sirianni
Site Co-Directors: Haynes (Chip) Sheppard and Kurt Niznik
Safety Co-Directors: Wally Anderson and Ann Sasaki
Activities Co-Directors: Mike Walker and Kevin Hester

New officers officially take their positions as of January 1, 2009, but I'm sure they would all be happy to hear from you if you have any ideas or input regarding BAPA.
