We received Silver Status for 2022

EAA April 9th, 2023 update from our Chapter President John Munroe:

Chapter Members,
 
I just wanted to pass along congratulations and thank you for helping us earn the "Silver" EAA Chapter Recognition award for 2022!  The details are in the EAA email below, but the award basically recognizes chapters that are doing things to enhance the member experience and to carry forward the ideals and goals of the EAA in general.  I think we do that but we always have a good time while doing so.
 
We're not a very large chapter but I think we have a great group of people who come together in the interest of experimental and general aviation and we together share our experience, expertise and enthusiasm for flying.  Bob Metcalfe mentioned in an email yesterday, when one member (Juergen) needed a hand to remove a wing from his plane, we had quite a few members show up to help, including two who flew in from Front Royal.  It was really good seeing that kind of response and it was great to just get together on a Saturday morning to help a fellow member.
 
For 2023 we plan to keep doing what we do: flyouts, Young Eagle rides, monthly meetings, support airport events, support builds in progress, etc.  I'm looking forward to a fantastic year ahead!
 
Regards,
 
John Munroe
EAA1031, President
