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

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

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

the

soaring

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

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

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!

Loye,

Thanks for the kind words. We always try and provide a club like experience for pilots that fly with us. All commercial operators really do their best to make soaring an enjoyable experience. We will always have that 2% that are not satisfied but that does not mean we should not listen to them. Hope to see you back at Seminole-Lake soon.

Sincerely,
Rich Owen
