Where: Las Margaritas

We have delayed the January 2020 Board Meeting by a week so that we wouldn't conflict with other New Year's activities.

Join us at Las Margaritas Mexican & Italian Restaurant at 541 W Dimond Blvd (on the north side of Dimond between Arctic and C Streets). When you walk in, turn left into the front room that is separated from the main dining area and we'll be on the right. So come, get your margarita and nachos and we will talk about aviation and maybe do some Chapter business.

As always, all Chapter 42 members are invited and encouraged to attend. You can pay your 2020 dues in person!

Where: Golden Corral near Tudor and C street

Our monthly Saturday breakfast get-together is at the Golden Corral near Tudor and C street. Great food and great conversation. See you there!

EAA Chapter 42 members:

I’d like to put out a ‘friendly reminder’ to encourage you to help your Chapter by paying your dues for 2020.

It’s very easy using the PayPal links near the bottom of this page: EAA 42 Dues page

Thank you! Rick Henry

Re: Chapter Officer and Director Elections

Hello EAA Chapter 42 Members:

At our May 26, 2020 Chapter Membership meeting we will have elections for all Officer and Director positions in our Chapter. I have been asked to canvas the membership to seek those who may be interested in an elected position. These include all of the following:

President
Vice President
Secretary
Treasurer
Directors at Large

The current Officers are listed on this page: Eaa 42 Officers

More information about the process and the duties of each position can be found on our website here: Eaa 42 Bylaws

Our current Officers and Directors have served in their positions for several years now and it’s time to offer other Chapter members the opportunity to serve in a position. Some current Officers and / or Directors may wish to continue to serve in their present or other capacities, but they will be part of the election process with other nominees.

I’m sure you would agree that our current Officers have done an exemplary job and we owe them a hearty “Thank You!” for their tremendous efforts and dedication to our Chapter.

I encourage you to consider helping keep our Chapter active and vibrant by ‘stepping up’ to be considered as a nominee for the position(s) of your choice. Please contact me directly if you have any questions or would like me to add you to the list of nominees.

Sincerely,

Rick Henry

Where: Canceled

Unfortunately, we have had to cancel our Chapter Meeting this month. The Air Museum is closed along with just about everything else in the state. Although we could probably find another place we decided to cancel the March meeting to go along with the advice from the medical pros. Bernie was going to entertain us with a presentation on his flight into the Canadian Arctic in his Bonanza. He has prepared a video of the presentation he was going to give and has loaded it on You Tube - it is titled "Canadian Arctic Adventure"
Canadian Arctic Adventure
It will be available at meeting time Tue. at 7 PM.

Bernie created an excellent four-part video of his flight across the Canadian Arctic. He posted this for us to see online in lieu of our regular monthly meeting yesterday. Enjoy!

Where: Video conference

Our April Board meeting will be held via video conference among the Officers and Board members who will receive details on how to attend online.

Where: Tom Lawhorn's Video Feed

Chapter Meeting - Tom Lawhorn will have two presentations for us:
Tom will discuss TIG welding and show us some repairs that he's doing on a set of Aerocet floats.
The plan is for Tom to initiate a Live Video from the EAA 42 Facebook page.
So, to view this you will need to log into Facebook and look for a notification that "Tom Lawhorn is Live on EAA 42" or something similar. We will be able to text questions or comments to him, which watchers can all see and to which Tom can reply, but there won't be any audio or video from other members, only text.
If you are not yet a member of the EAA 42 Facebook page, be sure to click on "Join" and we will add you to our Facebook Members.
