“That’s not my job!”
This is a story about four individuals named: Everybody, Somebody, Anybody and Nobody.
There was an important job to be done and Everybody was sure that Somebody would do it. Anybody could have done it, but Nobody did it. Somebody got angry about that because it was Everybody’s job. Everybody thought Anybody could do it, but Nobody realized that Everybody would not do it. It ended up that Everybody blamed Somebody when Nobody did what Anybody could have done.
In our chapter, we are blessed with volunteers who step up. As we continue to grow, we need to expand the numbers of volunteers who pitch in and in come alongside those now serving. I would like to see a mentorship program begin to “train up” the next set of leaders. Doing this will magnify the efforts of the volunteers and spread out the task. This would definitely be a WIN WIN for the chapter.
Our March meeting will be in our new home at Sequim Valley Airport. Bud Davies’ hangar #15 will be the location for the near future. Meeting dates and times have not changed … still the last Saturday of the month at 1000.
A schedule for the moving day will be determined and a special email announcement will be sent to the membership. Many hands make a large task much smaller. Join us.
Several members of the Board of Directors will be attending the EAA BOOT CAMP (leadership training – open to all EAA members) in Puyallup WA on Friday the 22nd. This is a great opportunity to see and learn from the National EAA Chapters staff. For some this will be a new experience and for others a refresher from the fully-fledged two and a half day program at Oshkosh Headquarters. If you would like to attend, you can register by phone 920-426-6116 or online EAA.org/BootCamp.
Winter season has provided a few great days for flying and I hope you have been able to “get in the air.” In the meantime, this is a chance to do the cleanup on your plane, inside and out, as we get ready for a great flying season.
