Welcome to January 2020 – the start on a new decade of aviation excellence! We hope you find ways to enjoy your aviation passion/s and ready to set new goals. Above all, find ways of sharing your knowledge, interest and passion with others!
Success for any organization is when members are stepping forward – even for the smallest of task and needs. Please consider volunteering of your time, skill sets and knowledge.
With recent reorganization of hangar, led by members Larry & Cheryl Kelly, great strides have been made in building an environment for members to gather – either for group initiatives or individual initiatives. However, it’s a “process in motion” and can use additional volunteer help. If you have a skill set – electrical, plumbing, painting, locksmithing, window cleaning, sweeping, organizing, tool shopping, producing a sign, building a capable IT network – please reach out and volunteer. Even if it’s one time and/or one hour…. it makes an impact!! Your EAA 729 hangar is taking on a new face, FOR YOU…be a part of it!
This year, we will be transitioning to a new email address of “eaachapter729@gmail.com”. We want to move away from utilizing individuals (personal) email and establish an organizational email. All communication from the BOD and committees will be via this email. Goal is for all
729 members to know “one email” and position us for a smooth transition, whenever new leadership comes on board.
To kick off 2020 presentations, Larry Bothe will be providing us an overview on “Owner Performed Maintenance”. We all know that we’re allowed to perform certain task as an owner/operator, but where do you cross the line and land in hot water with the FAA!!! Join us on Thursday, January 16 @ 6:30pm at A-BAM (Atterbury-Bakalar Air Museum). If you should miss this opportunity, Larry will be presenting information at Oshkosh this year, as well. It’s a whole lot shorter drive to 4742 Ray Boll Blvd., Columbus, IN.
In February, we will have a presentation by Karen James on “ForeFlight” …and who can’t learn from this presentation!! We’ll post more on this soon.
Many synergies are building for Chapter 729 with its Young Eagle program, Aviation Youth Center, as well as other initiatives. Come join us to learn more………
Safe travels,
Brad
