President's Message:
Normally I try to keep these messages light/humorous because we all have enough stressful things going on in our daily lives. Unfortunately, this time I have sad news to impart to you. One of our long-term members has passed away after a brief illness. Lars Eif was a pillar of our EAA chapter having been a member for more than 30 years. A retired military engineer, and then Transport Canada engineer, I remember meeting Lars back in the early 90s when I first joined the chapter. The workmanship on his scratch-built Steen Skybolt was inspiring (and intimidating to the newbies among us). Lars later built a Van's RV-9A, yet another example of his meticulous approach to everything.
Lars served several terms on the chapter executive including President and for many years ran our yearly executive elections. Always one to give a helping hand, he was always there with a smile and a kind word for whomever needed help or advice.
I know that many of our members, myself included, are missing Lars today and would want his family and friends to know that we all valued his friendship and love of aviation. He will be sorely missed.

Membership Coordinator's Message:
2023 Members who have not renewed their membership by August 31st 2024, will be removed from the membership list and google chat. The success of our chapter relies on the support from all of our members and not just the executive. Please send your remittance to treasurer@eaa245.org and we will do the rest. Please check out Membership for information regarding membership renewal or becoming a member.
