Hey guys! If anyone is available to fly a few Young Eagles this weekend, I'd sure appreciate the help. As of right now, it's myself and one other person--everyone else I've asked (those registered on the site already as pilots) is busy. If you know someone that might want to help out but hasn't flown with us before, please connect me with them! Please be aware that you do need to have your EAA membership active and a background check completed through the EAA website. If that requirement is not yet met, you likely won't be able to fly this weekend, but it's worth going ahead and doing if you intend to fly YE at any point. Thanks for the help, guys!

Fellow Aviators, Here are the minutes from today's meeting. Kind regards, Jim Quinn (LGV) Chapter Secretary 903.746.0342

Good morning! I had a scheduling conflict last weekend that I didn't realize when we discussed March 1. I spoke with Major Stowers up in Gilmer, and due to Spring Break, we are looking at 3/29. Can you guys advise whether that works for you?

Fellow Aviators, Just a reminder about our 2nd Saturday chapter meeting at 0900. Agenda suggestions are most welcome! See you there. Jim Quinn (LGV) Chapter Secretary 903.746.0342

Good afternoon! Unfortunately, the weather forecast doesn't look good enough for our event to proceed as planned tomorrow. I'm looking at 3/1 for a reschedule. Please advise if that does not work for you. Thank you! Ronnie

Fellow Aviators, Attached are the minutes for Saturday's meeting. Reminder about YE event this Saturday: Ronnie Godfrey will give us the go/no-go for Saturday's YE event as soon as possible.

Fellow aviators: Just a gentle reminder of our monthly meeting at 0900. Topics will certainly include some prep information for our Young Eagles flights next Saturday 2/15 at Steve Dean's hangar at the Gilmer airport, where we will be flying Junior Reserve Officers Training Corps (JROTC) cadets from Gilmer High School, weather permitting. In preparation please be sure and check your EAA expiration dates: EAA membership YE Youth Protection YE Background check YE Risk Mgmt Trng Also, if you've not yet been able to connect with David Sorrells, our chapter treasurer, to pay our annual chapter dues of $25, here is the way to do it online: Go to PayPal.com and pay to: eaa1656gc@... Thanks! See you all in the morning... Jim Quinn Chapter Secretary 903.746.0342

Fellow aviators: This Saturday will be the second Saturday at 0900. I'm sure that the main topic will be the Young Eagles/JROTC event at Gilmer the next Saturday, Feb 15th. I expect there will be some serious discussion about the DCA mid-air crash and the medivac Lear crash along with our safety meeting. See you there! Jim Quinn Chapter Secretary 903.746.0342

Fellow aviators, Just a quick note... We had nine members at our January 11th meeting.... Ronnie Godfrey, our chapter Young Eagles coordinator will send info as soon as possible about a YE event at the Gilmer airport (Steve Dean's hangar) on currently scheduled for February 15th, 0900 to fly the JROTC cadets from Gilmer High School. Show up time, requests for pilots, planes and other volunteer appointments will be addressed in the forthcoming days. Kind regards, Jim Quinn Chapter Secretary 903.746.0342

Fellow aviators, Our 2nd Saturday chapter meeting is this morning! 0900 If you haven't paid your chapter dues of $25 for 2025 please be prepared to do so. See you there! Jim Quinn Chapter Secretary 903.746.0342

Fellow aviators, Just a slightly late reminder about our chapter meeting this Saturday at 0900. We decided to move back to the 2nd Saturdays as of last month and we had a good attendance. See you then! By the way... We still are looking for someone to step up to serve as the chapter president. Thanks! Jim Quinn Chapter Secretary 903.746.0342

Fellow aviators, This Saturday morning at 0900 we will be reverting back to our 2nd Saturday schedule. David Sorrells will be there accepting the $25 annual dues for our chapter. We still need a president. At this point we don't have a particular agenda, however I'd like to see another member relate how he/she got into aviation if someone is willing to take the floor for a few minutes. Topics for discussion? Fly-outs, city events, Young Eagle activities, etc. See you there! Jim Quinn Chapter Secretary 903.746.0342 Cellular

Fellow aviators, I just received a voicemail from our chapter's other Jim Quinn (Hallsville) with news about Wayne Baker, who passed last week. The graveside funeral will be held TOMORROW afternoon at 2:00 p.m. at the Noonday Cemetery on Hwy 450 North in Hallsville. Thanks to Jim for the information. Jim Quinn Chapter Secretary 903.746.0342

Fellow aviators, After reading all the comments, David Sorrells and I made an executive decision to change the monthly chapter meetings to the second Saturday of each month at 0900 at the FBO. We are two of the three officers (Treasurer and Secretary, the President slot is still open!) of the Chapter, so that's what we came up with. Thank you all for your input. See you Saturday the 14th at 0900! Dues are $25/year so David will be prepared to accept them. Jim Quinn 903.746.0342

Fellow aviators, Let's start with the subject of dues: Our annual chapter dues are payable by December 31st. David Sorrells has set us up with payment capabilities using PayPal, a service that I myself use in my business. Simply go to paypal.com (you don't have to have an account), select to send money and use this email address link for the payment: eaa1656gc@... It worked for me and others last December. If you would rather mail a check, make it out to EAA Chapter 1656 and send it to David's address: David Sorrells 1207 Cannon Street Gladewater, TX 75647 Or you may pay dues at our December meeting (see below)... ----------------------------------- To continue: After a several month trial of the third Thursday meetings we've experienced very low attendance in comparison to our previous Second Saturday meetings. At our meeting this past Thursday evening, multiple comments were made pertaining to: 1. Moving the meetings back to a regular Saturday, i.e. first, second, third or fourth Saturday... 2. Moving to perhaps a different weeknight other than Thursdays. 3. Suggestions for a specific theme of each meeting, i.e. for different presentations, or activities preplanned each month and published agenda for the next monthly meeting. 4. General suggestions regarding bringing friends, etc. to see if we can expand our membership. 5. Suggestions for/against/indifferent about incorporating meetings at a restaurant with/without having the remainder of the meeting to continue at the FBO. Should we remain in the Gladewater area, or meet elsewhere? Should be choose a different venue every month? 6. We have a Facebook page and a web page. How should be manage them, or should we bother? Who should be handling the posting, etc.? 7. Why do we not have a chapter president? Suggestions? Volunteers? 8. Should we just shut down the chapter and last one to leave turns out the lights? (NOT my choice!) All topics, comments, etc. are welcomed and needed. Please respond to this initial message and responses so that subsequent comments can be fully disclosed without opening new comments. Thanks! Jim Quinn Chapter Secretary 903.746.0342 Mobile

Fellow aviators, Attached are the minutes from last night's meeting. I'll be sending a separate message in the near future asking for suggestions, recommendations, etc. Our annual chapter dues are due by December 31st. In my aforementioned upcoming message I'll have the app for paying online and address for sending a check. Thanks! Jim Quinn (LGV) Chapter Secretary 903.746.0342

Fellow aviators, As requested, here's another reminder for our meeting tomorrow evening at 1900. David will be collecting the $25 annual chapter dues. See you then! Jim Quinn Chapter Secretary 903.746.0342 Cell
