Fellow aviators,

?

It's that time!

?

We have our monthly 'Third Thursday' chapter meeting at 1900 at the FBO this week, October 17th and we have two challenges..

?

No one has stepped forward to take on the office of Chapter 1656 President, so this is still a concern.? If you can take a year to be the one, consider it as being a fairly easy tasking with twelve meetings and a couple of other functions, i.e. a Young Eagles event (We have a coordinator!) and perhaps a couple of other events that need a bit of attention.? As president, you'd not be alone but rather will have other members that will help out with any taskings, events, etc. so it's definitely NOT a one-man-band situation.? Please consider it.

?

Part 2:? I'm looking for someone this Thursday evening to give a little talk about how they got into aviation, especially to become a pilot.? What caught your interest?? When?? Why?? What was your path to get into the left seat (with the exception of our helicopter pilots)?? Do you have any photos to display or pass around?? Videos?? What were? your challenges that stood between you and the yoke?? What milestones or moments really got your attention, good or not so good?? Did you fly professionally for pay? (Let's hope we all fly professionally!)? I will volunteer for our next meeting if necessary but we need someone for our Thursday meeting....

Part 3:? I have an event immediately prior to our meeting, so I may be a few minutes late; I will call someone to advise of my arrival at the meeting, but the latest I anticipate being there would be 7:15.

Our last meeting's attendance was stellar!? We had a great turnout for Carl Robinson's talk and video about his experiences at the Reno Air Races.? Thanks, Carl!

?

See you soon!
