Our January meeting will be a break from our usual meetings. EAA Chapter 84 (at Harvey Field) has invited us to their monthly meeting for a presentation by Ed Shadle, who's attempting to break the land speed record.

The meeting is Tuesday, January 11, at 7:00 p.m. at Harvey Field. See the Chapter 84 page for more information.

December 2010 Meeting Recap

Any December meeting that doesn't get canceled due to weather is a success! Ross Mahon gave a great presentation on the history of and his experience with the Wickham B. We then held the 3rd annual white elephant gift exchange, which for the 3rd straight year involved lots of stealing and fortunately no fistfights. Lastly, Brian Trubee gave a brief update on his experiences flying his RV-4 thus far.

January's meeting will be a little different, as we'll be joining Chapter 84's meeting, where Ed Shadle will be the guest speaker. More information in the next post.

Tonight was election night, and results were as follows:

Secretary (2 year term): Rob Kochman will serve a second term

Director (2 year term):
2 positions open, because this is an even year. The business and property of the Chapter shall be conducted and controlled by the Chapter Board of Directors. We elected Glen Braun and Rich Martin

These folks serve in addition to our existing leadership for 2011:

• Jim Piavis will serve as president for 2011, in accordance with our bylaws.

OK, we've been lame!

OK, it's been a while and there's been a lot going on. As usual, a new work project is sucking the life out of the Editor, in between the usual ongoing activities. OUr next meeting is coming up in August and it's the annual Show-N-Tell for what you did this summer at the local fly-ins. Hopefully we'll have some reports on Sloshkosh 2010 and Arlington for starters!

Burger Burn!

I received this one from John Brick down at Pierce County, it's the annual Chapter Burger Burn and is always a good time!

Sunday, August 8th, 1 PM
Pierce County Airport – Thun Field (KPLU)
EAA Chapter 326 Burger Burn


Our annual Burger Burn is this coming Sunday. This is a potluck affair. Bring food if you like but it is not necessary or expected. Aircraft will be parked along the taxiway on the south end of the field. We should have plenty of homebuilts to peruse.

Hope you can be there. Spread the word.

June Meeting Notice

The June meeting is just around the corner, currently scheduled for Tuesday, June 15th, 7:00 PM at the Redmond Library. We're still working out the program so it's going to be a surprise! Hope to see everyone there.

I'd expect that normal pre-meeting dinner rules are in affect, 6:00 PM at Ooba's in Downtown Redmond, next to Ben Franklin's.

REMINDERS:

1) See blog post below for Young Eagles on June 26th at Pierce Co. if you're interested. I think there's a number of folks that plan on flying this year.

2) For the RV builders, the Northwest RV Flyin will be held June 19th at Scappoose Airport, OR. This normally starts mid morning and runs till the afternoon with a BBQ lunch. If the weather cooperates, it's usually a nice little flyin.
