Mary Rust Honored by SSA
 |
Congratuations! Mary Rust, OCSA's Chief Flight Instructor, has
been awarded the Soaring Society of America's Region 12 award
for "Most Active Instructor" for giving out the most ABC badges
during 2007. This is quite an achievement as the award counts
both commercial and club instructors. Mary has always been
"tops" with OCSA, it's now great to see her efforts recognized
by the SSA, our national organization. |

Rob Morgan came to
OCSA just a few months ago, and now he's joined our team of
instructors. He has lots of experience instructing in Blanik
L-13's and Grob 103's, so he'll be on board right away. Rob
will help out with the other instructors on Saturdays for a
while, and then will work into the instruction rotation.
Rob is the proud owner of a motorglider,

Zero Sink U.S.
Mail opt-out |
To get you your
quarterly Zero Sink newsletter faster, and to save printing
and postage costs, we're going on-line. We already publish ZS
on the Publications
web page in .PDF format the day it's mailed. We will send a
notice to the 'all' email list when ZS is posted.
If you no longer wish to receive Zero
Sink in the U.S. Mail, please send an email saying so to Roger
Worden at web_master@ocsoaring.org.
If you do not "opt out" we will continue to mail you
a copy.
The on-line PDF version omits the two pages
containing the Membership Roster, since it's in the
"public" area and we want to avoid making
members' personal information available on the Web. The
Roster pages will now be posted at the same time as a separate
PDF on the Roster
page which is password-protected. Members who know the
password can download and print the complete roster.
