Our next Business meeting will be 7:00 PM on Tuesday, April 2, 2024 at the Ocean County OEM, located at the junction of Mule and Airport Roads in Berkley, NJ (Just outside of Miller Air Park.) A video on airplane safety will be presented.
We are looking for ideas to enhance our meetings. If you have any thoughts regarding low-energy meeting programs, we would like to hear your ideas. Please help your officers to plan meeting/activities of interest to you!
Another area which needs Your focus is our Scholarship Program for young, aspirating aviators looking to attend a degreed program. Each year we receive applications from Ocean County high schools for Chapter 898 scholarships; we would like to give at least two, $500 scholarships again this year. Additionally, we look forward to providing $500 Grants to student pilots. If you could contribute additional support for Scholarships and Grants, it would be greatly appreciated. Please send your donation to Bob Palamara, Treasurer. ( 231 Quail Lane North, Lanoka Harbor. NJ 08734)
Another way of helping the Scholarship/Grant program is through the weathervanes designed by Bob Newman. Each weathervane is auctioned off to assist the Scholarship/Grant program. Currently, we are making and assembling the weathervanes at the Builds held in Bob's workshop. If you are interested in assisting please come to the weekly Builds.
Our aircraft Builds are currently working on the Thatcher CX4, the Sportsman, the Van's RV10 Impossible Plane, as well as Cub Weathervanes. Look for e-mails from our secretary, Debbie, for the dates and times of the builds.
Finally, displaying of photos taken at our various events (Builds, Gatherings, Business Meetings, etc.) are now displayed on Google Photo. Each event is given its own Photo Album and the link(s) to the album(s) is (are) forwarded to all members via e-mail.
