The Chapter Picnic, featuring Old Eagles flights, will be this coming Sunday, August 22nd. The event will take place in the usual spot, on the lawn just north of the Golden Wings hanger.
We plan on starting Old Eagle rides at noon and serving lunch at 2 pm. The Chapter is going to provide the meat and buns. It’s potluck so please bring something to share.
We encourage all members with aircraft to bring them and share a flight experience with our other members.
Some help is needed with setup, starting around 10 A.M.

As we all know, there is not a bigger champion of the Young Eagle program than Joe Gmitter. Joe’s hard work and dedication was realized at the Young Eagle’s Banquet during AirVenture. Chapter 237 was one of the three EAA chapters in the country to receive a ConocoPhillips sponsored Young Eagles Rally in 2010 (scheduled for Sept. 18th at KANE).
200 gallons of fuel will be supplied with a cost of $0.66 per pilot for the entire day. CononcoPhillips will supply goodie bags, refreshments, T-Shirts and banners, and also Jeff Skiles (the co-pilot, with Capt. “Sully”, of the airliner that mistook the Hudson River for a landing strip after the engines ingested some birds) will be in attendance for the rally.
This is a big deal and it is up to all of us to make this Rally a big success. Unfortunately, due to his medical situation, Joe might not be able to fly that day. So, it will mean a lot to Joe, and of course the kids, if all of you with aircraft could help out and of course those of us without, fill-in the ground crew duties.
Thanks and congrats Joe!

Hello all,
Our site’s been down for about 2-1/2 weeks. This was the result of some problems encountered with the old web hosting company. We are now with a new hosting company.
I have backups of most of the old content. I’m now in the process of rebuilding and reloading it all although this will likely take me a few days.
I apologize if this caused any inconvienence.
Mike
