CSC is off to another record start this season and the weather seems to be on our side - a big change from 2009! We just wrapped up the best May we've ever had with a 90% increase in business. We know that kind of growth is not sustainable as we get into our peak season, but it's certainly a great way to kick things off.
This weekend is going to be huge at CSC! The 13th Annual Skydiving for MS Boogie is this weekend and we already have over 150 tandems scheduled for Saturday alone. We will be flying both aircraft all weekend, so we'll have plenty of slots available for everyone. Dave & Ceil Perez and the CSC gang have put together another great event together to raise money for Multiple Sclerosis. Let's blow this one out with huge donations and a great party! Raffles prizes will be redeemable even if you're not here this year. Tickets are $10 and the grand prize is another 100 jump package at CSC along with plenty of other great prizes. $25 boogie fee covers t-shirt, food, beer, live music, $20 jumps (Friday thru Sunday for experienced jumpers), and more. It all goes to a great cause so pony up people!
Dear family and friends,
We are in the final week of our countdown to the incredible, life changing event known as "Skydiving for MS"! Yes, this is our 13th year and we have great surprises in store for all who come out. Our band, The Penny Mae Dixon Band, will surely be great entertainment for our bonfire, dinner and raffle.
Please go to www.skydivingforms.com to see how you can help. A donation of any size will be appreciated or you can help pass the word on Facebook, or you may choose to start fund raising with your own web page and earn a free skydive for raising $500. Raise $750 and get a DVD of your jump added.
Please help in any way you possibly can. We are in our 3rd year operating with NO drug company assistance. All money we raise, we raise ourselves. That makes us very proud to have a great event and still raise enough to give the National MS Society a nice check. Please remember this event touches so many people living with MS. Come out and see people living everyday with a disability and for a few short moments, forget everything and feel flight...
Take care and PLEASE help us rid the world of this terrible disease,
Dave and Ceil Perez
Skydiving for MS
Don't forget that Saturday is RW scrambles. Rich, Brian, and Andy have designed the event for licensed jumpers of all levels. Come out first thing on Saturday morning to join in. We are also looking for camera flyers to help out. If anyone is interested in flying video for the scrambles, please contact Rich Madsen at stardian2001@hotmail.com
Have you guys been tuned into skydiveTV? CSC's Director of Marketing & Promotions, Sammy Jack, is the man behind this project and they're having a lot of fun with it. Speaking of Sammy, his wife, Iva, is expected to deliver their first baby any day now. We will keep you posted.
Anyone out there thinking about getting instructional ratings this season? We have some courses scheduled for AFF, tandem, and USPA coach. The AFF course is being held by SkydiveRatings at CSC July 10 - 15. Be sure to reserve your slot in the course by contacting bram@skydiveratings.com. If anyone needs any help getting ready for the course, please let us know.
CSC is hosting the Independence Boogie July 2 - 11. We have some great organizers scheduled including Sandy Grillet, Lyle Presse, PJ Jackson, Sporto, Derek and Kiwi from SkyVenture Colorado, along with our normal great team of organizers. $20 jumps during the entire event plus a $15 Wednesday! Ward Hessig from Mirage Systems and Nick Grillet from Performance Designs will be on-site with demo equipment for the first part of the event. We are putting some fun mid-week activities together for the out-of-towners to see the Chicago area.
