This serves as your seasonal reminder and call to action to think
of all of the people, organizations and staff that keep us flying. Please remind
the chapters in your regions to remember the land owners, park officials, local
airport control tower, forest ranger, or anyone else who keeps us flying.

It may sound corny, but a Christmas card, bagels, box of chocolate, USHPA
calendar or jacket can really buy a lot of good will in the coming flying
season. Please remind the chapters in your area not to forget these people. It's
easy. You can just copy and paste this article and email it to them.
