Chapter Chatter

Daylight Savings has sprung us forward, at least on the clock.

Some are still stuck in “Ground Hog Day” mode. We have been on a gate hold since March 2020 with the uncertainty of the effects of the Covid-19 virus.

Well the good news is, thanks to the Jamestown Tribe, the county is vaccinating more people, providing an end of shut downs and total isolation. As of Friday 3/12/2021, 33% of the county have had their first dose of the vaccine. In addition, the county on 3/22/2021 will be in Phase III of the reopening plan.

It has not yet been decided when we will have in-person monthly gatherings. We will have to work out the logistics for our chapter. Social distance, masks and other requirements need to be enforced. As of now, there will be a ZOOM gathering on the last Saturday of the month, March 27, 2021 at 10 o’clock.

What is on the horizon? A survey was sent out about Air Adventure 2021. We want to determine if there is interest in making this a chapter event. I will report the results at the ZOOM gathering this month.

There are openings in several areas of the leadership:

Ted Smith (Tool Crib Coordinator) is moving, so we are looking for a new home for the tool crib.

If you would like to be the “tool person,” let one of the board members know. See page 6. Programs is still lacking a “Lead” and this is a very important part of our total package. Again, each of us has a role to play so how about taking on this task. It is a very important part of the chapter. Pave the Way to the Future – open. A very important position funding our scholarship program. See the article on our expanded scholarship program and the recipients. See pages 7 - 11. Hospitality / Food & Beverage Wrangler – when we meet again, we need a coordinator, because we like to eat.

We have a lot on the calendar to achieve this year, and with your help, we can accomplish it and make a difference in the lives of others. Ken
