From:[email protected] [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of Jim Quinn Sent: Saturday, May 13, 2023 5:57 PM To:[email protected] Subject: [Special] [EAA1656] Young Eagles event 5/20 - volunteers needed Friday afternoon and Saturday during the event
?
Fellow aviators,
We're requesting assistance from our Chapter 1656 members and all other interested persons who would be available to Friday afternoon, 5/19, at 4:00 p.m. to help with various setup tasks in preparation for our Young Eagles event on Saturday 5/20.? This event has caught the eye of a huge number of young people in the area, and during our regular chapter meeting this morning Ronnie Godfrey (our chapter president and YE coordinator) advised us that within the first 3-4 hour registration about 160 kids registered to fly!? He had to close the registration due to the immediate and overwhelming response, so we're going to be extremely busy Saturday!
In addition to the setup Friday, we will have a show-up time for 0700 with a pilot/ground team joint briefing at 0745, and a target flight start time of 0830.
We ask that if you can help out Friday afternoon and/or Saturday, please give us a hand!? You'll be fed, provided safety vests (to be returned), and will have a fabulous time!? Yes, it can be quite busy and perhaps a bit tiring, but if you've never participated it is something you'll enjoy!
Thanks for any assistance you and friends can offer.? Please reply to this email blast if you are able to help so we organizers can each get a head count for Friday and/or Saturday.
