Eagle Fund '07

The SSA’s annual Eagle Fund Campaign is going on now!

Last year, an unprecedented number of SSA members showed their support of the organization by donating. We hope that in '07/'08 you will once again keep SSA in mind with your charitable contribution. Click here for more information.

NEW! Dianne Black-Nixon,  Chairman of the Board of Directors, announced at the annual membership meeting of the SSA, a matching gift program up to $25,000. The program will run through May 1st of this year. Anyone interested in making a donation to the SSA and taking advantage of  this very generous offer is asked to send their checks marked "Matching Gift Program" to the SSA.

SSA Appoints New Soaring Magazine Editor

The association is happy to announce that Chuck Coyne, of San Dimas, California, will become the new editor of SOARING Magazine, beginning with the April, 2008 issue. 

With nearly thirty years in the magazine publishing industry, he has worked in editorial departments as well as advertising and marketing positions, after having received a Bachelor’s Degree in Communications from California State University, Fullerton, in 1976.

He became a pilot in 1986 and added the glider rating in 1988.  His publishing experience, combined with the insight available from being a glider pilot, should be valuable combination in his new editorial position.
