I have my letter drafted and just about ready to print and put in the snail mail. The more letters the better. Lets leverage the power of WIX to help the Windsor Lancaster Group.

You can send a polite and encouraging letter to...

Mr. Don Sadler
Director of Parks
2450 McDougall Avenue
Windsor, Ontario
N8X 3N6

...help the City of Windsor to understand how important it is to get this airframe in under a roof!

Regards,

Mike
