Chapter Announcements:
Thank you to everyone who contributed to our Giving Tuesday campaign. We raised $300, and we are truly grateful for every donation and every person who shared our message.
This campaign spotlighted our Young Eagle and youth efforts, but our vision for the future is much bigger. We are looking forward to growth throughout the entire chapter, from events and programs to community outreach and member involvement.
Your support makes that possible, and we cannot thank you enough.

- An introduction to the new Flite Log app created by local pilot Brandon LaFave
- A safety presentation by Jurg Grossenbacher from the FAASTeam:
- Title: Bad Flight Reviews; False Sense of Security
- Brief Description: If a Pilot just had a recent Flight Review or a Instrument Competency Check he should be good to go right? Not so fast, through works we have discovered that many pilots are not receiving proper evaluations for their knowledge or skill during their Flight Review or FAA WINGS Flight Activities. Jurg will discuss how this is possible and what you can do to avoid this pitfall.
