Our chapter Young Eagle Rally is coming up on Saturday, May 12. And, we are happy to say that we have almost filled all our time slots with kids. Right now, we have 68 kids and 11 pilots signed up for the Rally. Seven more kids and we are full up for the day.
We have a good team of volunteers already but we sure could use a few more.
If you are available that morning please consider volunteering for the Rally – we need you. Please click here and let us know about your areas of interest.
The BBQ Lunch also begins at 10:30 am in the waiting area.
Come out and let’s provide some youth with an introduction to aviation.

We’re shooting for Wednesday evening, 04/25 to install the shelving.
