as
used for the year 2000 Saturday, April 29, 2000 Hosted by Angel Flight East We are proud to announce that this year's annual conference AIR CARE 2000 will be held at Brandywine Field near Philadelphia. Join us for a full day of seminars, speakers, brainstorming, and socializing with your fellow volunteers. We will finish the daytime sessions with our annual membership meeting, elections, and an open board meeting of the new board. Saturday evening provides an opportunity to enjoy our annual banquet. This year's conference will be very special! We began the Air Care Alliance as a result of 1990's first conference on public benefit flying, held at AOPA headquarters in Maryland. At that meeting the many attending groups expressed their desire to form an organization to represent their common interests, host additional conferences, and provide an opportunity for those who love this work to share their experiences and knowledge. The year 2000 provides us the opportunity to review our last ten years working together and to set the direction for the Air Care Alliance for the future. Together we will make decisions that ensure our mission is beneficial for all public benefit flying volunteers and for the many organizations formed to support the needs of patients and our communities. Early arrivers can share an informal social dinner Friday night, while after Saturday's events all participants may convene Saturday evening for our annual banquet.
