Each member of the King County Council received a copy of the following:
Dear Councilman ____________,
You are receiving this message to urge you, as a member of the King
County Council, to please do everything you can to prevent the Seattle Area
Soaring Society from losing its current flying site in 60 Acres South. In these
days of increasing urban expansion, flying sites are becoming more difficult to
find and keep. Other leisure activities competing for existing sites only
increase this difficulty.
Radio-controlled soaring is an environmentally friendly activity that
provides hours of pleasure to young and old alike. Over 8000 members,
worldwide, of the League of Silent Flight participate in and enjoy this hobby.
On behalf of those members and our friends in the Seattle Area Soaring Society,
we, the officers of the League of Silent Flight, ask your assistance in this
matter.
Respectfully submitted,
Mike Stump, President
Ed Wilson, Vice President
Jim Thomas, Treasurer
Jim Deck, Secretary
