The 2026 CCSA Annual meeting took place Saturday, February 7.  Accomplishments for 2025 included two new Private Pilots, a new CFI-G, a successful contest in May, and a significant increase in club earnings.  The meeting included discussions on the current state of the club, the financial status and early planning for the 2026 Spring Contest.  Elections were held, with the posts for Treasurer and Maintenance officer remaining open.  The meeting was visited by Tony Lopez, a representative from the city of Avenal.

Lunch was served by Darrell, and there was a new addition to the membership roster - welcome Jack!

At the conclusion, Olie conducted several training flights and the 1-26 saw some action.  Larry and Richard used the tractors to start the task of beating back the vegetation that has sprang up in the last months. 

Winter at Avenal

A Mellow and Productive Day

---

A half-dozen club members were out on Saturday for flying and winter chores.  

It was a nice day for both - mid-60's temperature; light winds; mostly blue skies and ground dry enough to operate without worrying about getting stuck or leaving ruts.  We made about a dozen tows and every landing I saw was respectable!

  

The winter storms have finished the seasonal palm tree "wind-pruning" and we've got a trailer-full ready to head to the landfill.

Come out and fly or work - either one will be good for you and the club. 

As we were finishing putting everything away for the day, the ground fog started to slowly form in the valleys, ditches & creeks.  A fine end to a fine day.
