credit.

Does this mean we've turned a corner? Waaay too early to say but if
growth were to continue at that rate for a year, the SSA would be in a
far healthier state.

Want to help? Put a bumper sticker on your car and the big graphic on
your glider trailer. It seems to be working.

Bill, et al,

I think the report requires some detailing.

First, it spanned May 1 thru Jun 30, two months. Including Intro members, the total is 392.

Returning members, with breaks of one to over five years, 50
New full members, 187
Intro members, 79, (good on Pittsburgh Soaring Club for a sizable chunk, now make those you've attracted full members)
Business members, 2
Youth members, 67, 66 new, 1 returning, (grow these please)
Family members, 7, 5 new, 2 returning

That's five months of positive growth. Take good care of your new members.

Best regards,

Frank Whiteley
