Gigantic Olive Festival Thank You!!

Post by Cyndia »

To all the volunteers who came out for the Olive Festival -
THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU!
In order of schedule:
Kiana Kang, Tom Shaffer, Lynn McLaughlin, Laurie Burgis, Kat and Richard Shaw, Erik Larabie, Grace Hahn, Robert Bustamente, Pi-Hsuan Kao, Jay Devorak, Katherine Yardley & Jeremy Freisner. Christa Percival helped out after finishing her incredible chalk art of a hang glider over Sylmar and several of you stayed more than one shift - so extra thanks for the extra effort ':)'

Big thanks to Windsports and Joe Greblo who provided the Olive Festival glider, hauled everything over so he and I could set up the booth, and was there to help break it all down. Both the simulator and the glider encouraged a lot of questions about the sport and our club and the feedback from everyone was incredibly positive. Seems Sylmarians are really proud to have hang gliding as a part of their community.

A very special Thank You to Jeff Chipman who was there morning and evening (every day) to set up the AV to display videos of hang gliding around the world. He not only hauled the Macintosh in and out but the generator as well since we had no power in our location. Having the video really added to the display.

Everyone showed up on-time and it was so incredible to not get a single panicked text/phone call that someone could not make it. For that I truly thank you all!
