Website http://co-opa.com January 2020, Vol. 20, Issue 1 President's Message: Neither rain, nor snow, nor sleet, nor gloom of night shall keep the CO-OPA from their regular meeting. But it will likely cut attendance a bit, so see if you can make it this third Thursday, January 16 then come and celebrate the year past and to come with us. As has become our new custom, meet in the Bend Builder's Assist. The street address is 63030 Powell Butte Hwy. Many thanks to Mike Robertson allowing us to use his space. Bring something yummy to share at our 6:30pm potluck. Then we will finish up a short informal meeting a 7pm. Ugly weather, for flying this Fly-out day. Certainly another breakfast in town... Fly-Outs: The November weather being what is usually is to the west, We flew to John Day for Brunch. For New Years, there was a bonus fly-out to Baker City. Two planes flew south around the weather, and one north around the weather. Not far from Baker City the southern fliers had to turn back. The northern route by way of La Grande was fine. So one planeload got a nice breakfast at the Sumter Junction restaurant.
