Race for Riley concert a huge success!

I know that Robbie McGrath already wrote to most of you, but I wanted to take the time to thank everyone in Chapter 157 for their participation in the concert this year. I also want to thank Rick
Baugh and ZTL NATCA for their jumping in and joining us on this effort. Nationally, the FAA and NATCA have been working to improve our relationship and work together on industry projects. This partnership
is one of a kind. This was a task for the community that neither group was compelled to take on, but got involved by choice. Rick- you are the bomb! Thank you for joining us. Please let your members know how
much I appreciate their help and donations.

The numbers are still being crunched, but we raised more money than we  did last year and the event was WAY more successful than last year. We changed around a few of the logistics, moved rooms, drinks, food,
etc... Last year a lot of people pulled out at intermission. This year we had people dancing until the very end of the event. It was a blast!

Thank you all again. Don't forget to check out Rodney Peeks story on  FAA Focus. The Race for Riley is coming up on April 30th and we want to make sure to support that event too! It is a great spring board to
getting in shape for the summer and helping all of these kids out at  the same time.
