EAA CHAPTER 898 MONTHLY UPDATE-FEBRUARY
What a year this has been!!!! It’s very difficult for us to imagine all the flying and special meeting programs we have shared which are now just a fine memory. Each of us is extremely anxious to move on with our lives, including the fellowship we share through our aviation activities. As we look forward to spring and the renewal of our aviation activities, you can be assured that your Chapter Leadership team is continuing to discuss how and when we can begin to meet face-to-face again. Even though we had to move this month’s meeting to February 9th, there is concern over meeting in the Emergency Management Building and the lack of support from the FAA is terms of getting speakers.
Having said all this, OUR MEETING THIS MONTH WILL BE PRESENTED ON LINE. PLEASE USE THE FOLLOWING INFORMATION TO PARTICIPATE IN THIS MEETING: Please join the meeting from your computer, tablet or smartphone. https://global.gotomeeting.com/join/462832693
