With as much sadness as we have had in Orlando recently it is good to

The company sent out a press release on September 10, 2015 that
announced

after that leadership change, we held the 26th Annual Senior Soaring
Champi=

Please take a look at the video that was commissioned for the event
(https=

the

section on new glider pilots, Seminole-Lake is doing a great job of
introdu=

soaring

community, all of our employees strive to provide the very best
instruction=

the health of the company. As the Vice President I can tell all of you
we=
are doing great. We have made capital improvements to the grounds, have

sin=

followin=

I would encourage everyone who attended one of our camps or the Seniors
to

post on this site your impressions of Seminole-Lake. I would also ask
ASW2=
to contact me personally so that we could discuss
your

concerns.

Again, have a very Happy Father's Day! See you on the grid!
