Chapter Chatter

March… “Beware the ides of March” (the time of bad luck) as referenced by Shakespeare in his play “Julius Caesar” about the assassination of Julius Caesar circa 44BC. However, bad luck is not associated to a date, but the reality of small missteps leading to a greater calamity. Understanding how each step, no matter how insignificant, plays a role in the total.

Our Chapter is a never-ending living entity where the slightest misstep could have a very large catastrophic outcome. We plan, we organize, we think about each step and then, for a safeguard, we rethink the entire process. The goal is to have a very active membership with each member taking a small piece of a task to light-en the load for everyone. It is not going to be successful if only a few try to lift the entire load.

I know, from reading the bios and talking to you, we have very talented and highly skilled membership. We need you to be part of the 430-leadership team. We can do so much more for the greater Sequim, Port Angeles & Port Townsend areas to light the spark of aviation in so many. Come join us at our board meetings (the 2nd Friday before the last Saturday). Bring your ideas so we can initiate the program as we “pay it forward” for the next generation in aviation.

Our charter bylaws state “(1) to provide educational opportunities to its members and interested members of the public, especially youthful members of the public, regarding the design and/or construction and/or operation of aircraft in the State of Washington and in the United States…”

By now, you are aware the March 28th Gathering has been cancelled as a precautionary measure concerning the Covid-19 Virus. We will keep you informed about the April 25th Gathering as we get closer to that date.

The weather is getting better, so exercise your pilot privileges and let’s go flying.
