the meeting and showed off the beautiful trophy that we received for the
Best Float in the Pacoima Christmas Parade. He then announced some

it short because of the fire extinguisher demo to follow.
The following is a list of things
discussed.

American Airports and the County listed on the policy.

around the airport because of the construction.

due to litigation, but will start again soon.

Dave Kolstad, Treasurer, gave his report on the Air Rallye to be held on April 2 (weather back-up April 16) Meet at WHP at the park benches in the morning and you will be given the route with checkpoints.
