October 26 Gathering

A delightful breakfast of casseroles, fruit, and pastries was provided by the Hospitality Committee in the conference room at Fairchild Airport at 0900. After enjoying the really good food, the business meeting brought everyone up to speed on Chapter activities and aircraft building progress.

Ray, our own chapter president, presented a program of “Flying Idaho” — based on the flight guide from Galen Hanselman and video demonstration of flying into several backcountry strips by Todd Peterson. Ray also shared some photos of places he and Lisa have gone in Idaho and Washington.

This was followed by an introduction to the new Airport Manager at KCLM, James Alton. James gave a brief personal history and described current and future projects at the airport.

New 50/50 Raffle organizer Jazmin Stamper sold tickets throughout the morning and then selected the winning ticket—which was her mother, Alejandra! Several other items were donated for the raffle, so many happy people went home winners.
