Young Eagles on Saturday

Posted on by

Saturday July 19 marks our first chapter Young Eagles event. The event will start around 07:30 and should only take a few hours to complete. We will also have the BBQ’s fired up for pancakes, eggs & bacon. We hope to see as many of you as possible, and, most importantly… we really could use a few more ground volunteers for the Young Eagles. The duties will be simple, and the kids are reportedly very much looking forward to the day. By all estimates, we should be done well before noon. You only need to drive to the north end of the airport and look for the crowd near the large hangars by the street, but the exact address is: 1878 Flight Line, #1.

See you on Saturday!

The last Saturday BBQ was an absolute success!! What did not work so well was planning a general membership meeting to follow.

The Board has decided that it will be better to return to Wednesday meetings, beginning next week… July 16th.
