Wash & Wax moves to Sunday, September 20 — with breakfast, live music, and an SR-22 raffle

Mark the new date: this fall's semi-annual wash and wax lands on Sunday, September 20 at 9:00 AM on the MAFC ramp at Lakewood (N12) — rain or shine.

And it's grown into a proper ramp party. Hot breakfast for pilots, crew, and family — on us. Live music on the ramp all morning. Chuck's brand-new Cessna 182, parked and ready to admire. And every attendee is entered to win a ride in a Cirrus SR-22.

One more reason it matters: we're holding an important general membership meeting the same day, with a vote on bylaws changes — and the vote happens ONLY if enough members are there. Quorum is real; your attendance is the difference between deciding and postponing.

The airplanes still get washed, of course — it's equal parts maintenance, inspection, and social hour, and you learn more about an airframe with a sponge in your hand than you ever will from a checklist. Prospective members are very welcome: this counts as one of your two qualifying meetings, and it's the best possible morning to meet the people you'd be flying with.
