Visit our chapter website, and then make some contribution to it.  Mike has done an outstanding job. Please send him photos, personal histories and anything else you would like to see posted.

 

From President John Pool
            I hope you will be attending the Kingman Air & Auto Show this weekend.  Our chapter will have an area to provide visitors with information about the EAA Mission and Purpose.  Rick Warren will have his trailer on site to provide shelter for tables and signs.  Please plan to attend and take a turn manning the tables so no one will have to be on-site throughout the day unless they choose to do so.

            Chapter 756’s next Membership meeting is October 10th. at 7:00 pm at our Don Downie Memorial Hangar.  Please plan to attend as we must finalize our list of individuals willing to run for chapter leader offices.  King Sharp is the committee chairperson of the Election Committee.  Call him if you want your name on the list for an office at:  897-1388.

From the Editor:  I am currently holding down two full-time jobs: one for KITPLANES and the other for the parent company.  This second assignment will end by Halloween, but I do not have time to put out a full-fledged newsletter.  I do have a long article from Aronson that will be in next month’s newsletter, the good Lord willin’ and the cricks don’t rise.

 

In the meantime, please turnout and help at the Chapter’s display at the Air & Auto Show this weekend.  Contact any of the officers for what you can do to help.  And step up and volunteer for an officer position.  New faces are needed. 

 

Since the last meeting, 20 more Young Eagles received their Certificates on September 16th.  It was a beautiful day and everything went very smoothly.  Thanks to everyone who came out and helped. As you know, we needed all your hands.   Thought you might enjoy this photo of WAR Aircraft’s ½ scale WAR Corsair with the new “rockets” installed.
