EAA Chapter 974—Newsletter August, 2009
Table of Contents Prez Says Ed Schwinn Prez Says 1 August was a busy month for the Chapter. On August 8th and 9th we did the annual Chapter Picnic 1 Pictures pancake breakfast for the Greater Cincinnati Radio Control Club’s flying circus. I want to thank Barry Fear for all of the work he put in organizing it and to the many Flying 3 Destinations people who gave up part of their weekend to volunteer to help. We netted about $240.00.
Sunday August 16th was our annual picnic, which used up most of the money we made from the pancake breakfast. As usual, there was too much to eat and this year, we had lots of food left over. Many thanks to those helping set up, cook and tear down for the event. Also, thanks to all of the members attending for the great side dishes that were brought for our enjoyment.
To ensure we don’t waste all of the food left over, we’re going to grill burgers, brats and metts prior to our monthly chapter meetings until it is gone. We’ll fire up the grill about 12:30, get cooking at 12:45 and shut down at 1:30 giving us the opportunity to have full bellies prior to the 2:00 meeting. If interested, show up early and bring an appetite for our next scheduled meeting on September 13th.
We will soon begin the process of nominating and electing officers for the next calen- dar year. We need to find replacements for Brian Charlton, who will be taking over the presidency and for John Wilemski, who will be retiring from his treasurer’s posi- tion the end of the year. If you are interested in one of these positions, please contact Brian or myself. This is an opportunity for you to give something back to the Chap- ter. Also, these positions do not take a lot of time and give you the chance to meet other chapter members and even learn their names!!!
