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

The chapter banquet came off well when 43 of our members traveled to the Swan Inn for a nice meal and an evening of camaraderie. Our program was given by Roger and Marilyn Doane, who put on a slide show of one of their flying trips to Alaska in their Stinson (pictured below). It was a nice evening for all who attended.

The night wasn’t completely without its problems, as we had to pay for the meals of all of those who had made reservations but didn’t show up. If you were one of those who didn’t attend and didn’t cancel your reservations, please consider the chapter’s problem. We’ll take this up in more detail at the March meeting.

Meeting programs are a concern of mine and I would appreciate your input as to what you would like and make any suggestions if you have an idea. I can bore you with movies and slides for the entire year but that isn’t really what is best for the chapter. Give us your ideas.

ATTENTION CHAPTER MEMBERS!
