From the President:
I just want to thank everyone who helped to make our first Young Eagles program a huge success today! I believe we flew over 19 Young Eagles. To see the smiles on the faces of kids today and their appreciation was nothing short of fantastic!
It’s my understanding that our breakfast was not only delicious but was also very much a success. I know we had at least 2 new members join our chapter today. If you were not here today you missed a great event and I hope you can make the next one. Again, my heart felt thank you to all the members who worked on this great event! The kids will never forget it. See you next month with all the final numbers!
We’re posting pictures of the event.
