The March Fly in at Santa Rosa was attended by 32 members and guests who enjoyed beautiful sunshine and fine food though it was a little slow in coming. We had 8 or 9 Navions and 2 other Airplanes, plus cars.

       Our next Fly in is on  SATURDAY APRIL 13^TH, 2002  AT AMADOR COUNTY / WESTOVER (O70) . listed under Jackson.  Please arrive by 11:30 a.m. Some of our members will have cars to transport us into Sutter Creek (about 2 miles) where we will have lunch at Bellotti's restaurant which is at 53 main street. They  limit the menu for groups to 3 items so I chose Hamburgers, Ravioli and a salad but if anyone wants something else I am sure they can get it. This is an old gold mining town with  the usual tourist traps.

       Advance notice of our overnight fly in on SATURDAY AND SUNDAY MAY 18^TH AND 19^TH AT CARSON CITY, NEVADA (CXP). Overnight tiedown  is $3.00  at L.L. Arrow but the fee is waived if you buy gas. We have reserved a block of  10 rooms at the Best Western Pinion Plaza Resort. They have a shuttle to the airport. It is a big place with 3 restaurants, a casino, bowling Alley, exercise room etc.  The rooms are $81.00 plus tax and RESERVATIONS MUST BE MADE BY APRIL 19^TH. Cancellations can be made up until 72 hours before scheduled arrival. The phone number is (877) 519-5567. Tell them you are with the Golden Gate Navioneers. NOTE !  This will be your last notice to make reservations on time since the next news letter will not be sent until after April 19^th.  All the good hotels in town are all booked up. We will have a get together for dinner. It should be a fun trip.
