Hello HVFF !

We have planned an IN PERSON party to celebrate the holidays (and getting back into the “in person” meeting groove) 😉

The party will be held at The Paper Mill Restaurant in Napanoch NY, (Used to be the White Wolf where we had many events).

SAVE THE DATE !!: Saturday…. Jan. 21st 5:30 – ????

There is a multi-option buffet menu with something for everyone, including two dessert options. Kids can order off the regular menu (burgers/ mac & cheese, etc) … or pay $14 for the buffet.

These are ALWAYS nice parties… and it’s been over two 1/2 years since we have had an in person get-together.

The price is $60 / person (Up from three years ago… (but not that much).

Please respond if you will be attending (solo or with guest) to me, via email: flyhighpaul@gmail.com.

I need to provide a head count for the chef….

I hope to see you there.

Paul Voight

Brace 50th Anniversary Party
2024-08-31 08:00 - 22:00 | NY
🎉 Labor Day Weekend and the Brace 50th Anniversary Party 🎉

The club at Mount Brace is planning planning for Saturday August 31 as the party day with Sunday Sept 1 as the rain day. We’ll confirm when we get a read on the weather.

Hopefully the weather will work for some flying. Even if there’s no flying it would be cute to get a group together, drag a few bottles of sparkling cider up to launch, and toast the mountain! Specific meeting times for going up to launch will be coordinated later.

Families, friends, and guests are all welcomed. Please share this invite with your community.

Anyone who is a current USHPA member with an appropriate rating and a signed waiver would be welcome to fly. Membership dues will be waived.

There will be a BBQ dinner starting around 6:30pm. Donations will be requested to offset the cost.

Bring your own beverages (unless someone is feeling flush and wants to contribute a keg of beer!)

When it gets dark we’ll have a bonfire and movies in the outdoor theater including John McNeely’s 16mm footage of Brace, Ellenville, Talcott, etc from back in the day. Bring a lawn chair.

If you plan come please let any Brace Mountain officer know directly so we can get a head count for food planning.
