Hello Chapter Members,
Chapter AirVenture Photo At The Arch Wednesday July 24. 2024 At Noon
We will meet at the arch and gather around our brick to take a chapter photo. If you can be there at that time be sure to join us. This will be a great memento to commemorate the 70th anniversary of the EAA Chapters.

Flyout to Pancake breakfast in Overgaard July 13, 2024 Our Chapter Flyout this month was to the Overgaard pancake breakfast. The breakfast was hosted by EAA Chapter 1044 at the Mogollon Airpark (AZ82). We flew in early but there were already 20 or so airplanes there. It was a fun event. If you haven't joined us on a flyout try to attend the next one. It's a good excuse to get in the air and spend time around other airplane geeks.
The Board of Directors decided to skip our July Chapter meeting this year. Because all chapter officers are planning to be in OSH this year we will not have a chapter meeting in July.
The Ray Scholarship Committee is making progress toward selection of our scholar. The committee will soon announce our scholar for this year.
Air Venture will run July 22 through July 28. It's time to fuel up if you are flying to OSH. Several members are planning to fly in and I hope you will join us. We will take a chapter photo at the chapter brick on Wednesday at noon. If you plan to be there on Wednesday please let me know so we can get everyone in the photo. This the 70th anniversary of EAA chapters. Another good reason to attend the Fly-in this year.
Cecil Orozco is working on our prop banners project. The prop banners are available and we will be able to take orders for them at the August meeting. We will have the details and cost at the meeting.
Our next chapter meeting will be at the CHD terminal meeting room on Saturday August 17th at 10am. Our guest will be Ryan Reeves, Chandler Airport Manager. Ryan will brief us on airport operations, coming airport improvement projects and take all your questions. This should be an interesting meeting. Of course we will have pizza and social time after the meeting.
We have an ongoing need to fill our vacant Chapter Secretary position. If you want to get more involved with the chapter please consider stepping into this position.
If you have not got around to paying your 2024 dues (only $20/year) talk to Mark Weiss and he will take care of you. If you are not able to attend a meeting you can send a check to: Mark Weiss 2523 Rincon Dr, Chandler, AZ 85286. Make check out to "Chandler EAA 1445".
