Chapter Chatter

A brighter future is on the horizon. The days are getting longer and more light brings more smiles. People are in the final days for preparations for the many holidays that occur at this time of year.

As the Board of Directors start a new year and take on the process of creating a better EAA 430, we look forward to you joining this hard working group. I am sure there is a positon where you would be exceptional and enjoy. There are opportunities which need to be filled.

Welcome Andy Sallee (Airport Manager of Sequim Valley Airport) as the new web editor who has already made significant changes to our web presence as well as our social-media imprint. Thank you Andy.

2020 will bring a renewed effort to get our PAVE THE WAY TO THE FUTURE brick program in full swing. While we are still looking for a marketing manager, we will start with the help of Polaris Engraving by utilizing their online ordering and payment system. If you have a desire to facilitate this positon, please let us know.

The Annual Business meeting was a success, along with the pizza and birthday cake. As a 46-year-old chapter, we are looking fabulous.

As a side goal, I would like to expand the membership to reach out to other aviation groups in the area to join us. RC modelers, Hot Air Balloons, Ultralights and Powered Parachute enthusiasts. After all, if it flies we have a common bond. Freely invite your friends to come to our gatherings and let us talk aviation.

My wish for you and your family is for health, happiness and joy. Enjoy the days we have and look for the silver linings in everything. Additionally, I wish you tailwinds, low fuel costs and a blessed holiday and Happy New Year.
