Join us and the Lindbergh Foundation at Sun 'n Fun!
By Greg
I don't know that I've ever written about my involvement with the
Lindbergh Foundation (www.lindberghfoundation.org),
but I've served as a Trustee for five years now, and find the work
to be personally quite rewarding, especially as it speaks to the
heart of issues confronting General Aviation.
This year the Foundation is teaming up with Sun n Fun to present our 32nd Annual Awards Celebration on Wednesday night, 14th. Here's a link: http://www.lindberghfoundation.org/docs/index.php/awards-a-events/events At that Event, we honor both individual and corporate standouts whose efforts in using technology to solve environmental challenges. I've attached a PDF "Executive Summary" of the evening's ceremonies, including some fun information about our special auction that night. In short, I think it'll be the premier industry mixer at Sun n Fun, and of course, for a good cause.
It turns out that our registrants for the event--hosted by John and Martha King--include numerous aviation luminaries: high-level attendees from GAMA, NBAA, EAA, AOPA (past and present heads), not to mention support from various industry influencers. To make the evening even more lively and entertaining, we're having a live auction of such one-of-a-kind items as: A day at King Schools and dinner with John and Martha; a 10 day Kenya Wildlife Safari, a Garmin 560, a signed Erik Lindbergh bronze casting of a Columbia 300, a P51 ride with Kermit Weeks, an aerobatic flight with Sean D. Tucker, and a complete Forward Vision EVS system, including display and STC kit!
And something else you may appreciate: We'll be showing the Miles O'Brien film, "Over Africa", which he (and wife Sandy) shot, directed, and produced after their visit to our partner KWS last year. After the showing, John and Martha, Patty Wagstaff (trainer of KWS pilots), and Larry Williams (CEO of BRS Parachutes)--all veterans of a trip to Africa/KWS--will be on hand for Q&A. Thursday 15th has been designated Lindbergh Foundation Day at the Sun n Fun "Green Space"; here's a link to the presentations and speakers we have coming for that--and this event is open to all Sun n Fun attendees at no additional charge http://www.lindberghfoundation.org/docs/index.php/component/content/article/40/387-lindbergh-foundation-day
I hope you and some of your team will consider making it a point to join us. Be sure to register soon; the Event is nearly sold out, and there probably won't be a chance to get in at the door if you haven't already signed up. In case you can't make it to Sun n Fun but are interested in supporting our work at the Lindbergh Foundation, I hope you'll consider making an online donation. And if you've read this far, I have some inside scoop: you can bid on the auction items online: http://www.lindberghfoundation.org/docs/index.php/awards-a-events/events/394-2010-on-line-auction-temp
I you're coming to Sun N Fun, I hope to see you at either or both Lindbergh Foundation Events!
Best regards,
Greg
