Chapter Chatter

The candy corn dish is finally empty and all the Halloween decorations have been stored for another year. The Thanksgiving cornucopia is on the table already and the leaves from the trees are everywhere. The clocks all fell back and the early sunsets have arrived.

All of this means the election of chapter officers will occur this month. The changing of the guard if you will. With this change, we will have a new voice, ideas and direction.

What will be your part in this organization? Will you step up to coordinate one of the youth programs or be a mover and shaker for a breakfast fly-in, or some other program? You have talents and we would like you to share them with the chapter.

Our chapter has continued to grow, in spite of the difficult times the last 18 months. We have expanded the scholarship program to support three students pursuing careers in aviation. Good on us.

Looking to the immediate future, we have this year our November Election (11/27), the Christmas Toys-For-Tots Annual Dinner Party (12/11) at The Cedars of Dungeness and the transition board meeting (12/17) where the gavel and torch pass to the new president. Look for your invitation so you can RSVP for the annual party.

You have already received your ballot. Please vote early by mail. It works really well and only takes a minute or two.

Wishing you a Happy Thanksgiving (11/25) and A Joyful Chanukah (11/28-12/6). Yes, it is early this year.
