EAA Chapter 32 General Meeting For JUNE 20th

WE ARE HOLDING A MEETING THIS MONTH!

Time: 10am
Location: Aviation Resource Center
6410 Grafton Ferry Road
Portage des Sioux, MO

We will require masks/face coverings to be worn at the chapter meeting on Saturday. We will provide disposable single use masks and hand sanitizer at the door. There will also be someone at the entrance to screen temperatures with a touchless infrared thermometer. We also need to maintain our social distancing requirement. Most of our membership is in the age range of added risk so we must do this to protect each other as much as possible. We can still do this and be safe in the process. Thank you in advance for your assistance. I'm looking forward to seeing you on Saturday!

Blue Skies! Bill Doherty

Chapter 32 Events

We are hoping to set up a fabric covering seminar or classes later this year. Due to material cost and preparation items we may have to charge a small fee to cover items such as frames to cover and materials. I would like to keep this no more than $20-$30 for members. It should include basic covering as well as rib stitching. Fellow chapter members will teach this. How many people would be interested? Please contact a chapter officer.
We have a number of members who are proficient at MIG and to some degree TIG welding. Please contact Don Doherty on helping with other members learning to weld.
Volunteers are needed to help grass cutting once a month. During active growing season the grass needs to be cut once a week. During the dry season this sometimes drops to every two to three weeks. Volunteers need to be checked out on the mower. Cutting time takes about 1.5-2 hrs. Right now we have 2 or three people and need a couple more that are reliable. I would like to spend some of my weekends flying instead of cutting the ARC grass. Please contact Don Doherty.
