For this months gathering, the presentation will be our chapters annual business meeting. The board highly encourage your presence.  We would like to see 70% of our membership in attendance. The success of our chapter in 2026 is dependent on your involvement.

The board is presenting reports on what the chapter has accomplished in 2025 along with a full treasury report. Dan Berry will give a summary of his activity over the last year along with six Do-This-Not-That homebuilt aircraft safety encounters. Mike Duggan will give a report about Young Eagles. We need to nominate and vote in both a Secretary and a Treasurer, and a find volunteer to help with scheduling programs. We have a special guest that will give a short presentation on planned giving.

Dan Berry, Chapter 648’s Technical Counselor and EAA’s Homebuilt Council Member, will share a few agenda items being discussed at next week's EAA Board Meeting in Oshkosh that he will attend. A large emphasis will be on Safety as the FAA holds EAA accountable to create and implement mitigants for EAB, ELSA Fatal Accidents.

We will end the gathering with opening it up to the members with questions and comments. We want to know what you want and need from the chapter.  Again, the success of our chapter is dependent on your involvement.  Our goal is that you want to come on Saturday mornings and then leave with useful information.
