We’ve added the meeting minutes:
The Ford Tri-motor committee
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!
The Tri-motor is coming!
The EAA’s Ford Tri-motor will be visiting Lincoln Airport (Flight Line Drive, Lincoln), from June 4th to the 7th.
To aid in volunteer training, we have the Ford Chapter Manual (Liberty and EAA Ford), and there’s also a training video.
January Monthly Meeting on Wednesday 21st
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.
