The Ford Tri-motor committee

Posted on by

trimotor We had a short turn out last Wednesday, which is understandable with the cool weather. February’s meeting will be at Cattlemens Restaurant, 2000 Taylor Road, Roseville, though, so we’ll at least be warm!

One of the points discussed was the commitment from EAA for bringing the Tri-motor to Lincoln. It’s actually happening! Not only an honor for us, but this can also be a huge money-making event for the chapter, but we need to get ready.

Next Wednesday, January 28, we will have a special meeting at Pizza Roundup, 2270 Nicolaus Rd. in Lincoln, starting at 18:00. The purpose will be to start formulating ideas for what must be addressed to maximize this event.

This document contains some thoughts that Gary put together, and we’re sure it isn’t complete or correct.

We need input!

and we need volunteers! The dates will be June 4-7, with the Tri-motor arriving on the 3rd (or earlier), and leaving on the 7th.

If you have just a morning or an evening, or just one day, or even just a couple hours, we would like to hear from you. This should be fun and we don’t want to wear anyone out. If you can’t stand, we have sitting jobs. If you can’t sit, we have standing jobs!

See the training video and the manual.

If you wish to add anything to the list, just email it to Gary, or print it out and bring to the meeting next week, or to the next chapter meeting.

I hope we fill up the meeting room at Pizza Roundup!

January Monthly Meeting on Wednesday 21st

Posted on by

Next Wednesday, January 21, will be our first meeting date of 2015. Although the night time temps are a bit cool, we have decided that it wouldn’t be too uncomfortable to hold a meeting in Tony’s Pizza Joint…..I mean, Tony’s Hangar….

For the new members, Tony’s hangar is the large hanger facing the runway, near the north end. We will start the meeting at 19:00, but come a bit early if you want to join us for pizza.

Just some reminders:

  • Chapter meetings are usually held on the 3rd Wednesday of each month, 19:00.
  • Board of Director meetings are held on the 1st Wednesday of each month, 18:30.
  • Open Airport days (LRAA) are on the 3rd Saturday of each month, 08:00 – 12:00.

2015 dues are due. $20 for single membership, $30 for family. Dues can be paid by cash or check at the meeting, or via PayPal.

New Year’s flyout to Willows

Posted on by

As in the past, there are going to be a bunch of flyers at Nancy’s in Willows (WLW) for lunch on New Year’s day. This year they’ll do it again, and maybe even bigger and better. Last year there were 28 aircraft there for lunch and 51 people. Let’s see if we can beat that this year.

The plan is meeting about 11:30 on New Year’s. Recognizing that weather may or not be a factor, they have told Nancy’s that they’ll be there from about 11:30 to 13:00. Nancy’s will reserve about 30 places. It’s unlikely that everybody’ll arrive exactly at the same time so Nancy’s should be able to accommodate everyone. Welcome to the “New Year’s Flyers”. Catchy huh? And the weather at this point is projected to be good.

If you are not sure that someone has received word of the gathering, please let them know that all are welcome. After all this is New Year’s and we want to start the year with as many friends as we can. So let’s see how many of us we can get there.
