We need a chapter president.....
Fellow aviators,
As I'd mentioned in the minutes from our last meeting, Ronnie Godfrey has stepped down from the position of Chapter President effective that evening.
He'll continue to be the coordinator for the Young Eagles events (Thank goodness!) however his family and business obligations are first on the list as they should be and time for being our chapter leader just isn't easily available.? You may recall that when we "encouraged" him to step up to that plate he did say that he was already too busy but he took the position with the warning that he may have a short term.
I want to thank Ronnie for being there for us!
Now we need someone else to step up, so please either volunteer or suggest someone for the position.? "Voluntold" isn't the thing we want!?? Hah!
New guys?? Sure!? Do it!? We're a friendly bunch and can help you get going.
Thanks!? See you all for our regular chapter meeting on the third Thursdays of each month at 7:00 p.m. at the FBO!

Hi Jim Quinn,

We¡¯re inviting you to help give these kids a memory that may change the course of their life. For some of these kids, this could be their first exposure to airplanes and to experience flight.

We do this to target kids in our local communties by advertisement through posters, flyers and word of month.? We have currently limited YE registrations to 60 kids however, if we get more volunteers to help we¡¯ll increase that number!
As you can imagine, there are many other duties required in such an event other than ¡°Pilot¡± such as: Ground Instructor; Registration; Dispatch; Logbook Entries; Escort; Flight Line; Aircraft Safety Watch; Food service; Parking and so on.?
Although preferred, you do NOT have to be a current EAA member or Chapter member to help as an ¡°Event Ground Volunteer¡±.

Minutes from 4/18/24 Chapter Meeting, Gregg County Historical Museum Brochure attached, etc.
Fellow Aviators,
I've attached the minutes from this month's chapter meeting along with a brochure from the Gregg County Historical Museum's exhibit
"Conquering the Skies: Evolution of Flight"to be held April 16 - August 31st of this year.? This will be an amazing exhibit and as a volunteer and member of the museum I can assure everyone that this will be one fantastic time to make a point and go visit the museum!? I've traveled all over the western US and I can say that our own museum is top notch, standing above any county museum I've seen over the last few decades.
If you wish to participate and perhaps offer some time, materials, etc. just give Jennifer White (Education Coordinator) a ring or email (see website).
Further news:? Ronnie Godfrey will be stepping off the Presidential Podium effective immediately due to heavy family and business workloads, so we're looking for someone to step up and fill his shoes.? If you'd be interested/eager to perform the duties, just post something using this email system so we can all see the same conversations.
Thanks!
Enjoy!

Re: Monthly Chapter meeting tonight at 7:00 p.m.
Guys ¨C I will not be able to make the meeting tonight.? I am in Fort Smith AR.
?
I did call Petit Jean Lodge at Petit Jean Mountain State Park.? They will be glad to pick us up from the Petit Jean Mountain airport for the short drive to the lodge for lunch and obviously a stayover for
anyone who wants to stay in the lodge.
?
The route would be 07F to KMPJ.? About 187 NM and a flight time of 1 ¨C 1 ? hours depending on type of airplane.? The landing strip is concrete and is 5851 ft with RNAV approaches.? Good enough for what we
all fly!

Hey Ronnie. I'm not sure if you or any other pilots could do something for me and help us out. Do you remember my 16 year old son Cole? This is really more for him since I haven't been flying recently. He soloed this summer and has been studying for his written. We lost our flight bag and his backpack in the fire. Between the two bags, they contained all our aviation gear (logbooks, manuals, study books, headsets, asa computer, ect). He even lost his solo shirt tail and all his "flying wardrobe, hats, t shirts, ect." I don't have a lot of contacts. Emily and I are so overwhelmed at the moment and I don't want Cole to loose focus and not finish his PPL. That's why I never finished years ago (Loosing focus). I'm trying to see if someone in the aviation community could reach out to other pilots and help us get him what he lost and needs to finish some of his training. Again please forgive me for reaching out, but this has been so hard for us and this kid has kept it together. He's tough on the outside but I can see it catching up to him. I just want to find a way to keep his head in the game. Thank you. Chuck

Third Thursdays, 7 p.m. is the new meeting day and time!
Fellow aviators,
The results are in and I stopped counting at about 15-17 with those preferences here as well as from those who called/texted me with their choices.
The vote was unanimous except for one member who said he had no preference, so I call that as a yes vote.
Thanks for your input, folks!? We'll obviously start March 21st, 7:00 p.m. at the 07F FBO.? And thanks to Winn King for his suggestion that we change.
Kind regards to all....
