Chapter Chatter

Here we are in December. The time of year where there are many holidays. For some of us we say, Happy Hanukah, Merry Kwanzaa, Merry Christmas or the all-inclusive HOLIDAY GREETINGS. It matters not what we say but that we are wishing someone the very best at this time. Good will and peace on earth, the Golden Rule and love your neighbor like yourself are not mere sayings but rather a way of life.

Let us go forward with a kind word for all those we meet, not for just this season but from now on.

We have encountered too much strife, name-calling and bitterness about “my widget is better than yours” or “my candidate is xyz.” Time to come together and act differently.

It is also time for the membership to join the chapter board of directors for the good of the chapter. We need each of you to pick up a piece of the chapter load in lifting this chapter to its full potential. I see this chapter as a beacon for young people and advancing aviation right here on the Peninsula.

This coming year is going to be challenging as we continue to fight an invisible opponent while trying to maintain some semblance of social awareness. It is a challenge we will overcome. In the short-term, please be well and stay safe.

Wishing you all a very Happy Hanukah / Merry Kwanzaa / Merry Christmas and HAPPY HOLIDAYS.
