Why First Saturday?
The founder of the
company, Roy LoPresti, had a life long love of aviation. As a boy
of 5 he announced to his parents, he was going to "design airplanes".
A bold statement from the son of poor first generation immigrants. But
sure enough, he entered NYU at 16 and graduated at 19 with a degree in
aviation engineering.
As a boy, Roy 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 income 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.
