Club
Meetings...Where and When?
Looking
for an opportunity to learn more about your club? Then come to the CISS
general membership meetings held every third Thursday of the month
all year long - exceptions being holidays, etc. The meetings begin 7:00p.m.
at Leppert and Hensley Mortuary located 900 North Rangeline Road in Carmel
(U.S. 31 North to Rangeline Rd. and turn right. Leppert and Hensley is
about a half mile down on your right). Aside from being a quiet place
- for obvious reasons - the facility has a nice downstairs social room
with lots of room, comfortable chairs, AV equipment and restrooms. Network
with fellow club members, learn soaring safety or techniques, hear a great
program or catch up on some great fish stories - er, uh - soaring stories.
This is your opportunity to be heard and tell the club what you think
could make the club better for everyone.
See you June 19th at Leppert and Hensley! Click

June Meeting
Program
Be sure not to miss the next meeting program by Nyal Williams.
Nyal will be speaking on the history of patterns, the history of glider
patterns, how our patterns differ from powered aircraft patterns,
how they are actually different from they way we say they are, and
why, and an analysis of how we should use patterns. |

Keep 'Em Clean
Have
you noticed that when any one of the private owners in the club fly, they
wash and clean their gliders before putting them away? As we all are in
effect owners of the club equipment how about doing the same for our great
gliders and tow planes. In future we plan to keep a bucket of water and
a few washcloths down at the launchpoint to keep them shining - between
flights or when the ships are not "in the air.". Please help - The
birds have been really hard on the painted surfaces this spring.
