Hello everyone!

 Well, it is that time of year again!  Summer is clipping along and we are less than three weeks away from our LIPAMA Annual Summer Social on August 22nd. Everything is shaping up nicely. Click here for the PDF Flyer: 2013 Summer Social.pdf

Live entertainment this year will be from Matt and Mike from Super Acoustic. Great guys performing an outstanding mix of easy listening tunes, you may remember them from our December 19th LIPAMA Holiday Dinner. Were looking forward to their great music and vocals!

For our special mid-event entertainment this year, Elvis is still dead!, but look forward to the talent and entertainment style of Mr. Steve Charles.  Steve is going to treat us to a really fun show and some "Rat Pack Era" renditions of Dean Martin, Frank Sinatra, and other classics...maybe even an Elvis song? www.wowshow.biz

We are talking with the folks from Rivetborne, a high performance aviation center offering specialized corporate leadership and flight training programs. They provide undergraduate pilot training for US Air Force Cadets and we are kicking around the idea of them bringing down the M – 26 Air Wolf acrobatic trainer for static display. Very unique aircraft.  Still working on those details…stay tuned…www.rivetborne.com

We were working to organize a rib smoker barbecue competition between Constant Aviation, Embraer and ExcelAire and a cook-off judging panel for their respective super-secret rib recipes. The logistics just weren't working out for us, but we think it a really fun idea! We will plan on hosting a rib competition next year.

This year's food will be served up from our family friends at Mamma Mia's Ristorante, located on Ocean Avenue at Veterans Memorial Highway in Ronkonkoma. They will be serving up some of the finest grilled sausages, grilled salmon, pasta selections, salads and fresh breads. No one goes home hungry!

Rumor has it that "Joliet Jake" may be getting out on parole on 20 August. Trying to see if we can track him down, but as usual, Ellwood seems to have left the building.  We are still looking for him...

It is going to be a great time again, so come out, relax, enjoy, meet old friends and make some new ones.

We extend our very special thanks to the great folks at Hawthorne Global Aviation Services / ExcelAire for hosting the event this year. They are a great group of professionals to work with!
