One Week to Go

As I write this blog, Aviation Industry Expo one week away. This event promises to be a great opportunity for aircraft maintenance professionals to see the latest products and services, attend technical seminars and have a little fun. Yes, we have several opportunities next week to have some fun while raising funds for a good cause. First off, there is AMTSociety's golf tournament next Monday, March 17. What a fun way to spend St. Patrick's day -- hitting the green for some fun and networking! Although I am a scratch golfer (I scratch my head every time I hit the ball, trying to figure out where it went), I won't be golfing. I'll be riding around with the beer girl on the beer cart, taking photos and chatting with the participants. I know, it's a tough job, but someone's got to do it. All proceeds will benefit AMTSociety's AMTScholarship fund. Not a golfer? Don't fret. The next night, Southwest Airframe and Tank (SWAT) will be hosting a Texas Hold 'em tournament. A $50 buy-in gets you a seat at one of the poker tables. Food and drinks are included, and plenty of prizes will be awarded. SWAT will donate the proceeds from this tournament to AMTSociety's AMTScholarship program. I have already reserved my space in the poker tournament, and have even bought some sunglasses so I can look like I know what I am doing at the table. :-) Information for the golf tournament, the Texas Hold 'em tournament, and all of the events going on at the show can be found on www.amtsociety.org and www.aviationindustryexpo.com. See you in Dallas! Joe Escobar
