Monthly Hangar Lunch Is This Saturday, February 23

Our February hangar lunch is this Saturday, February 23 from 11:00 a.m. – 1:00 p.m.  Jambalaya  and salad make up the bill of fare this month and, as always, $5.00 buys all you can eat. Some of our usual hangar lunch volunteers will be unavailable this weekend so we could use some extra help with the lunch. If you’d like to volunteer please be at the hanger at NLR Airport at 10:00 a.m. this Saturday. See you there.
