Expiring minds want to know. *Thanks.


I discussed formation of a soaring chapter at Mifflin with John Good
earlier this year and provided some information on behalf of the SSA
Clubs & Chapters Comittee. While researching clubs and chapters 3-4
weeks ago, I found that the Mifflin Soaring Association filed with the
state of Pennsylvania on 4/19/2010, but have yet to receive a follow-
up from John. Beyond that and some other background chatter, it
appears to be a work in progress.
