You can't miss our banner.. "Go Green."
For aviators today, going green is almost an imperative. In fact,
OUR imperative is to insure the privilege to fly by insuring our
fuel supply.
You've
probably heard about our DeltaHawk Diesel project. But there's
more. LoPresti is installing a DH Diesel in a Cirrus SR20 and
we're experimenting with biodiesel made from algae. If we're
successful, we will have an inexpensive and highly efficient
fuel for General Aviation. The DH solution will get 30-40% more
miles per gallon, all while extending engine life by the
natural lubricity of the fuel. These are exciting times. Make
certain you stay tuned!

First
Saturday at LoPresti
November 7th - Sebastian Florida (X26)
"LoPresti First Saturday on November 7th, will be Glenn Curtis. Glenn is known as "Dr. Glenn" of Love Doctors fame."
First Saturday
Fly-in Event will be held Saturday, November 7th at our facility in Sebastian. LoPresti Aviation will guest host
speaker and local resident Glenn Curtis. Many of you know him as
Doctor Glenn of the Love Doctors radio show. What many may not
know is that the Love Doctors Charities is a cornerstone
element of the Love Doctors show. The charities have raised
well over a million dollars that has been spent on good works in
our local community. The full breakfast buffet begins at
8:15 am
with steaming hot cups of coffee and everything from pancakes,
eggs & bacon to fresh fruits and delicious muffins. Breakfast
is followed by Glenn’s presentation at 10-11:30 a.m. This
month's event will benefit Glenn’s personal charity choice, The
Love Doctors Charities. (A $5 donation is requested)
|
In addition to the annual toy distribution, the charity provides a wide range of community assistance throughout the Treasure Coast. This year the charity has helped a family that lost everything in a fire, offered rent assistance to a single mother, sponsored two high school air force cadets, aided a senior citizen battling cancer giving area teachers school supplies and annually sends several kids to diabetes camp. |

Come to First Saturday and hear the great stories and behind the scenes laughter that his characteristic of the Love Doctors Show. Glenn has great stories and if you have never been to a Love Doctors event you are in for a real treat. Woven into this tapestry of joviality will be stories of the stewardship and giving that has made the Love Doctors a force to be reckoned with not just in radio, but in our community at large.
Doctor Glenn got the "bug" for radio in 1976 & 1977 while he was a junior and senior at Vero Beach High School. He took broadcasting classes and spent lunch hour as a DJ. on the school radio station. After high school, he attended broadcasting school in Sarasota, and returned to the Treasure Coast to work at WTTB, WFTP, WSTU and WAVW (Wave Country 92.7)While at WAVW, Glenn met Rich Dickerson and teamed up to form "The Love Doctors". From there the team went to WKGR (The Gater) and on to WZZR, where they have been since 1991. A few years later, the duo formed Love Doctors Charities to help residents of the Treasure Coast and Palm Beaches. The Love Doctors Charities has raised more than $1,249,000 and the 2008 annual Xmas toy drive raised 250,000 dollars and provided toys to over 9,000 area children.
LoPresti First Saturday is about connecting aviation to modern America.
As
a boy, Roy LoPresti hung around airports and airplanes every
chance he got. However, what was possible and even common 60
years ago, is neither today. Roy bemoaned the loss of innocence
and the lack of places for kids and pilots to meet.
So we opened "LeRoy's Cafe" as a place for pilots and the
community to "Hang Out". Later we added First Saturday to
formally bring the two together once a month with a full
breakfast, an interesting topic and a guest speaker. Any
proceeds we generate goes to a charity or a worthy cause. In
this way we get to give back to the community and provide a
place for pilots to gather. Best of all we get to do what Roy
wanted most...to share the dream of flight.
Other Stuff
Families and youth groups are encouraged to
attend this and
every First Saturday event.
