RAA 4901 and COPA Flight 10 brought friends and aviation enthusiasts together for a steak night and fundraiser at Mulberry’s on Saturday, January 30. A big thanks to everyone for buying and selling tickets to this event – your efforts brought 101 people out and made this event possible!

The silent auction was a lively event that included a real variety of items – some of which I may have missed in the list below! Any omissions are unintentional:
- framed aviation prints by Gary Thompson
- framed photograph by our own Cory Cox
- coffee maker
- framed photograph of an F-18 by Colin Kunkel
- winch
- case of pot lights
- framed Glen Scrimshaw print
- iPad mini
- sky-diving gift certificate
- gift certificate to the Cave
- furnace service gift certificate
- teapot and tea collection
- home gift basket
Thank you to Murray for organizing the auction, everyone who donated items and those who bid on them also.
Entertainment
A big thank you to the grade 10 jazz band trio from Walter Murray Collegiate who entertained us before supper and to rising country star – Shantaia Poulin – who sang to us after supper. Thank you Shane for rounding up the talent and a big thanks to Gary and Shane who moved drums, amplifiers, etc. to and from Mulberry’s.
50-50 Draw
Congratulations to the winner of the 50-50 draw, Johanna, who went home with an extra $225 last night! She was smiling with Jan long before the draw!

Hi Brad,
Thank you! Shane did the heavy lifting on the front end of this one – for sure. But from our end it was fairly light work with significant rewards:
1. We raised serious much-needed funds in a very short time.
2. The event brought together and reconnected many people in the general aviation community.
3. All members had to pull together to make this event a success – everything from organizing to donating items to inviting people to the event.
I hope we’ve ignited some sparks in the general aviation community!

Hi Cory,
It was a great idea! Thank you for your leadership in the recent revision of our clubs’ online presence.
I think the blog will help members who can’t be with us join our conversations and stay connected with the clubs. I hope it will inspire others to join us and participate in the promotion and the experience that is general aviation.
