Our annual “Destination:
Aviation” scholarship fund raiser was a success again this year. Your contributions will enable a young person
to go to a week’s summer camp who would otherwise not be able to participate.
Thanks to all who donated
at the May chapter meeting despite not getting much of a “heads up” that we’d
be taking up a collection as we do each year at this time. The fact we didn’t have an April newsletter,
because of Sun ‘n Fun, threw the schedule off.
While we just barely
collected enough to send one youngster to a week-long camp, we will “pass the
hat” again at the June meeting. Frankly,
just two chapter members donated almost all of the money to make this
scholarship effort a success this year.
Additional funds collected this month will enable another child to at
least attend one of the shorter camps or go toward extra materials and supplies
to make the summer program even more enjoyable for all the kids.
So, if you haven’t had a
chance to make your contribution yet this year, please do so at the June
meeting. Cash is fine. Checks should be made to EAA Chapter
175. All funds will be forwarded to
“Destination: Aviation” programs at the air museum.
Reminder: All donations
are fully tax deductible, as the
Annual Dinner January 2009
Pictured below are pictures from the EAA 175 Annual Dinner
held on January 10, 2009. Earl Groff
presented a most interesting program on his naval experiences as a pilot on the
USS Hancock. It was a great evening for
all.
