New Morgan Assembly Day
Lets try this Saturday, April 20th, 9 am, for assembly day at Morgan. The tow plane has been repaired and started in action on Saturday. A great soaring day for those able to fly.

Heber Assembly Day Change
We have changed the date to May 4th to coincide with Soar Utah's opening day and to allow more time to fly out of Morgan. Also more board members were available to move trailers that week. We could use some help moving trailers, if anyone has a suitable vehicle and can help Friday the 3rd call and volunteer.
