Website http://co-opa.com March 2018, Vol. 18, Issue 3 President's Message: Beware the Ides of March, and yet are upon us whether we like it or not. For those that have forgotten your High School literature class, the Ides of March happen on March 15, which this year also happens on the Third Thursday, our CO-OPA meeting day. Wikipedia says: "The day was enthusiastically celebrated among the common people with picnics, drinking, and revelry". So, let us get on with that tradition and meet at the Leading Edge Jet Center on Bend Airport. Our festivities will start at 6pm. Bring food for our delicious potluck at 6:30pm, and finish up with a short formal meeting at 7pm. Once again Intellicast (http://intellicast.com/) has bad news for us. Mostly cloudy with a 33% chance of rain 1PM this Saturday. We'll decide on our Drive-In breakfast destination at our meeting. February Fly-Out: Ouch. Another month, another bad weather day for a Fly-out. No one wanted to fly in 25 mph winds, so we headed to the Black Bear Diner in Bend. Calendar: 15 March - Monthly Meeting 17 March - Monthly Fly-out 19 April - Monthly Meeting 21 April - Monthly Fly-out 17 May - Monthly Meeting 19 May - Monthly Fly-out Sad News: RIP Mary H.
