Chapter Chatter

The question this month is all about our EAA chapter. Do we want to be A PERSON OF INCLUSION Versus One who supports separation, disconnection, isolation, remoteness, indifference and exclusion?

After answering the question then we need to decide, what must I do to make this happen?

Tough question considering all that is happening right now. More polarization within the society, more people talking and very few listening. In typical conversations, I believe we are considering our response rather than hearing or listening to the words being spoken. Conclusions are predetermined before the question or situations are presented.

As trying as the first half of this year has been, we need each of you to pick up a piece of the task of running our chapter. We need more than just a couple of members carrying the burden for all we wish to accomplish.

Ask yourself, WHAT AM I REALLY PASSIONATE ABOUT OR INTERESTED IN DOING within our EAA family? You can start a new “whatever” and bring excitement, new experiences, joy and energy to the group. We would love to hear all about it. Present your idea to any board member or, better yet, ask to present your idea to the board at our next BOD meeting.

This month we will have a “ZOOM” gathering and we will see how it goes. Each of you can cook your burgers the way you like and have your favorite beverage on your patio. Just remember to social distance and be safe.

Until we can meet at the airport --- Tailwinds and Clear Skies. Ken Brown
