The January, 2011, kick-off meeting drew a record attendance of 131. Retired U-2 pilot, Ron William, delivered an informative riveting address enjoyed by all. George Gingerelli did a superb job of singing God Bless the USA. The crowd was moved. An award for Outstanding Achievement was presented to Al Mimran for his expert technical work on behalf of the club for the past two years. David Berman was also recognized for the special holiday event he orchestrated on behalf of the families of those that serve. He also stepped forward as our photographer for this event. A big thank you to all contributors to this event.
