Chapter Chatter

October has gone by and we are bracing for the colder months of November through March. Five months of howling winds and cold weather, with a sprinkling of good flying days mixed in.

It is a time to work on all the “squawks” that have accumulated over the spring, summer and fall flying. Upgrades that have patiently been on the back burner and now scheduled for installation. What a great time of the year.

Holidays galore are on the calendar and the end of the year is in sight. Our Annual Business Meeting will be November 28 via Zoom. We will report the results of the chapter all-mail election. The newly elected officers for 2021 will transition at the December Board of Directors meeting.

With continued increases in the count of new Covid-19 cases in the county, we remain in Phase II as outlined be the State Health Department. In short, no “in-person meetings of more than 10 people.”

We have had a good response to the RC Sim program with young people getting a firsthand chance to fly a sim, as well as a remote controlled aircraft. Al Gross is having the time of his life introducing the youth to the world of aviation. Thank you to Tracy for handling the promotional side of this process on Facebook and continued follow-up with interested parents.

What is on your mind? We welcome feedback from each one of our members. Write and tell us what you are doing and what you would like the chapter to be working on.

Remember our current projects:

 Pavers Program – give a memorial brick in recognition of someone who is important to you.

 Workshop program for the Young Eagles Program (Looking for a lead)

That’s if for this month. Wishing you a happy Thanksgiving Ken
