A Message From Our Chapter President, Ron Fritz (February '05)

Wow, our first meeting of 2005 was a big surprise. There was a huge crown present and I can only hope we can draw a similar, or larger, crowd at future meetings.

As you will see elsewhere in the newsletter, there won’t be a regular February meeting due to the fact the banquet will be held during the same week. I hope you can all get out, as this historically has been a fun time for chapter members and their spouses. We always try to include spouses in chapter activities since this is a family oriented organization.
One of the difficulties of running a chapter is trying to determine what appeals to the members. As with most chapters, our chapter has an abundance of members with a variety of aviation related skills. The goal is to use these skills to the benefit of those who might need help with a project. I’d like to set a few minutes aside at each meeting to present a technical demonstration on some aspect of airplanes and their construction. If any one has a subject they would like to see presented, bring your idea to a meeting so we can present it at a later meeting.

In conclusion, I’d like to remind everyone that this is his or her chapter and it is not the job of the president to dictate but to elicit subject matter that will enable each and every one of us to benefit in some way. That means many of you might be approached to make your contribution to the success of a good chapter. If called upon, please do your part. You might be surprised at how you can help another chapter member.
