Please feel free to submit your intent to take on any of these positions as we welcome new blood in the executive.  We do know for sure; the newsletter position is being vacated so we will have no newsletter following this meeting should no one come up to the plate.  Regarding Membership, Phill Johnson is not comfortable re-filling this position as he cannot guarantee commitment for the next two years.  Terms for these positions are two years.  Please come forward if you are interested in increasing your participation in your chapter.

Oshkosh Review

Please bring along any AirVenture photographs you have and share with your fellow chapter members.

BBQ

As usual for this summer, we will be having our monthly BBQ so don't eat up too much for breakfast and come and fill up on Hotdogs and Hamburgers.

September 20th Fly-In breakfast: by Ken Potter.

I want to thank all of the EAA 245 members who came out yesterday to volunteer for setup and today for the Fly-In.  

Wow, what a great day we had today.  The WX was perfect.  We sold approx. 220 meals. We had an interesting cross section of planes attending including a King Air from Lachute ($4,000 breakfast) and, on top of that the local community came out with many families with kids eager to learn about airplanes and of course have a great breakfast.

There are too many volunteers to list, but I'll call out a few.  In the Canuck hangar running the food prep, Scott Miller... you Rock!!!!!  On marshalling duty our stalwart keeping it safe, Phil Johnson, running Carp UNICOM for what is the most professional day of the year Carp experiences was of course Dwyane Price. And lastly, and not least, the volunteers who greeted all our guests, the servers; coordinated by my bride of 41 years Judy Potter. 

To quote Forest Gump... "I'm really tired now"....
