SUNSHINE FLY-IN FATHERS DAY BREAKFAST

OVER 500 ATTENDED THE SUNDAY MORNING FATHERS DAY BREAKFAST AT THE MAQUOKETA MUNICIPAL AIRPORT.    A GOOD TURNOUT AND SUNSHINE
DIRECTOR HEATHER MOORE AND THE STAFF AND BOARD THANK YOU IF
YOU ATTENDED.   THE WEATHER AFTER A LITTLE FOG IN THE MORNING,
WAS NEARLY PERFECT.     AIRPORT RIDES WERE GIVEN AT $25 A RIDE
AND THE TWO PLANES WERE BUSY GIVING RIDES.

THE PLANE ABOVE FROM CHICAGO AND THE CONTROLS TO IT....WAS
ONCE THE THORSON PLANE IN MAQUOKETA UNTIL PURCHASED BY
SHAWN MEYER'S FATHER-IN-LAW NEAR CHICAGO, IN YELLOW SHIRT ABOVE
MATCHING HIS PROPELLER.

THAT'S LINDA MOORE ON THE FAR LEFT...LONGTIME STAFF MEMBER OF
SUNSHINE PRE-SCHOOL AND DAY CARE CENTER, BUT NOW RE-NAMED
SUNSHINE LEARNING CENTER.    ON FAR RIGHT, IS SUNSHINE EXECUTIVE
DIRECTOR HEATHER MOORE.      NO RELATION TO LINDA.    DON'T HAVE NAME
OF THE TWO IN THE MIDDLE.

FUN DAY AT THE AIRPORT!

FATHERS DAY AND THERE WAS SOMETHING FOR DAD TO DO.    PUT TOGETHER THE CARDBOARD AIRPLAINE.   THERE WAS ONE FOR EVERY
KID.

THANKS TO SUNSHINE FOR  DOING THE BREAKFAST!

SURE IT WILL BE BIGGER AND BETTER NEXT YEAR!
