The holidays are creeping up on us fast!  To celebrate Thanksgiving we will be offering discounted jumps this coming weekend (November 24-25)!  Saturday night will be full of Thanksgiving festivities!  Genie’s Café will be putting together a delicious feast.  There will also be an electronic music party set up in the Auditorium starting at 9pm!  It’s going be a great time so dress to impress!!

With Thanksgiving only days away, that means Christmas is coming up too!  You can purchase gift certificates for your loved ones this holiday season (first jump, AFP jumps, and experienced jumps)! 

Skydive Chicago’s formal Christmas party is also right around the corner.  It will be held Saturday, December 8th.  Tickets for the party are $30 each and can be purchased through manifest.  Keep an eye on the forum for a detailed menu!

Not only are we coming up on holiday season…but it’s also the time of year to winterize trailers.  Since we are starting to get some nights that are below freezing, the water will be shut off soon.  If you have not winterized your trailer already, please do so ASAP so your pipes don’t burst!

A lot of you have been asking about 2008 jump packages!  They should be ready soon.  Rook is waiting to see where the oil prices are going before setting the package prices! 

Don’t forget about the Skydive Chicago and Cross Keys Invasion in Sebastian Florida!  It is going to be a great boogie from December 28th – January 7th!  There are already a lot of people planning on heading down from SDC!  For details on the boogie check out the Skydive Chicago forum: http://www.skydivechicago.com/Forums/tabid/110/view/topics/forumid/7/Default.aspx

David Elliott will also be heading down to the boogie to do some AFP jumps with students!  If you would like to come down to Florida and do some AFP jumps with Dave please let us know by December 15th.  We will also need to know what gear you will need us to bring down.  Check out the forum for more details.

Grandma and Grandpa Nelson moved out to Arizona a couple weeks ago and are enjoying the warm weather!  That means their beautiful house located on the property is up for sale!  The house is 3800 square feet with 5 bedrooms, 3 bathrooms, a finished walkout basement, attached garage, wood deck, covered porch, and much more!  They are asking $299,000 for this beautiful home located on the airport and bordering the Fox River.  For more details, or to walk through the house, contact Rook at 815-433-0000 or Rook@skydivechicago.com.

Have a lovely Turkey Day!!
