We had a great November chapter meeting at the Still/EAA hangar last Saturday. A record crowd showed up and we welcomed new members. The meeting was an open house for the hangar row where members opened their hangar and showed off their airplane. We conducted our chapter business meeting and had 2025 officer elections. Chef Rick cooked burgers for us and we had some very interesting speakers.
