The President's Message |
|
By Alan Resnick |
I am very pleased to report that the work on the runway is complete. The 22 zone irrigation system is working and with the summer rain, we are seeing some green sprigs already. The runway will need to remain closed until we have a strong growth base. Optimistically, I am hoping the runway will be open around August, but that might be a little too soon. The roller has been returned to Mid-Florida. The old Massey tractor is still running, but the Ford is at Dennis Day’s with a fuel feed problem. We need to get that working again shortly, since we still have other grass to cut. The total for the runway project is coming in closer to $12,000.00. We could use some more donations! I can not begin to thank all the Gators who have put in so much time and effort to make this happen. The diagonal runway remains open. A tree on the northeast approach has come down and the power lines are now visible--use caution. Donation can be mailed to: Fl. Flying Gators 3795 Lake Mirage Blvd. Orlando, Fl. 32817 Remember, the diagonal runway is available, use caution on the runway! Alan Resnick, Pres. 407-493-8597 |
