Exclamation PRA Pitch-In "work day" This Friday and Saturday

If you can make it to the Mentone Airport this weekend John and Jennifer the convention sponsors this year are looking for some help.

They need help cleaning the cantina, cutting down some small trees and other important labor.

Please pitch in and help!

FYI:

I just found out today that Jennifer's car was severely rear-ended. So bad that the roof of her car is accordioned up. She has some sprains and what not. If that is not bad enough the insurance of the driver that hit her is being non-cooperative.

She is going to need all the help she can get with the convention this year.

Tim I have to be in southern Kentucky this weekend or I'd be there.
I just planned the poker run for 2:00pm on Friday.

Bump

Oh no not our Jennifer, hurt? and financial loss? That's just not right in any way.

Now you know if I lived even one state away I'd be there.

Where are all great folks on this forum that live near by.
Come on guys don't make me call you out by name. We need your help here....

PS:
Make it a rotorcraft fly-in, work/ It's a party.... day.

I know Mentone is coming up quick, but is there any reason why it has to be Friday and Saturday?

I work Fridays and unfortunately this Saturday is booked. However if we do the next weekend we should be freer then and I'm sure a few people from Ch. 18 could come out.

I think Jennifer would love the help!

Call or email her or email me and I will get you in touch.

Default Mentone Work Day

If anyone is planning to come and work at Mentone on Saturday, July 16, please call me so I know how to work my schedule, 574-353-1048. There are still two sets of trees/bushes and the office skirting to work on. Sorry guys, the Dixie Chopper will not be available as he is having "temper tantrums" and blowing his fuses.


Thanks,
Jane Feldman

Unfortunately we won't be able to make it tomorrow. Adam had some medical issues earlier in the week (nothing too serious) but as he missed work he needed to make it up tomorrow.

Sorry for the inconvenience. We wanted to be there.

I'm hoping to be able to get there early in August, so I can pitch in. Can't make it this weekend, though.

Default Mentone work day-cancelled!

Work day is being cancelled due to rain! I'm not complaining since we needed the rain.

Thanks,
