Gavin Wills will be passing through the Seattle Area next week and has
graciously offered to share his knowledge on Mountain Soaring with
local area pilots. His presentation will begin at 7:30 and will also
include a fairly lengthy Q & A session afterwords.

Prior to the talk, we will have a 15 minute social.

Should be a good evening!!

And for those who can't make it, he is also planning on swinging
through Ephrata during his visit sometime around the 21st or so of
July. So we will likely have an encore presentation then.
