Website 

This month also saw the launch of our own domain, southerncharter.net and more development of this webpage. In the process of building the web presence we are looking for screenshots to use on the various web pages, everyone is encouraged to submit images which portray what we do here at Southern Charter! 

Resources Page

One item which has come up in discussions around the new website is a download area for repaints, scenery, paint kits and developer resources. The first uploads should be live in the next week, covering developer items; SCX 'Branding' kit for repainters, and some scenery developer resources. As time goes on the hope is to expand this section.

We also need a much *cooler* name for the downloads page... suggestions?

SCX Shipping Bringing Aid to Mexico

Southern Charter has been involved in a major logistics operation in support of humanitarian support agency IDAP.
IDAP recently started Aid Operations in Mexico, and required a significant amount of support equipment and supplies to obe moved from their base in Texas to their operating base in Mexico.
Southern Charter assisted with road transport and sea freight to move a huge shipment to Mexico at relatively short notice.

The partnership with IDAP extends to all parts of SCX's capabilities, and is expected to grow based on the success of this operation.
