The meeting will be at Riverview Airport in the “back room” and then the EAA hanger.

This month’s program will be the story of how to build an RV-7A by Jack Dekkinga.  He will start the meeting in the back room to provide background information about the RV-7 and his reasons for building it.  Then we will go over to the EAA hanger to see the results of many hours of dedicated construction.  Jack will hold a “show & tell” on his aircraft and is willing to answer your questions.  See you there!!!

Be prepared to nominate officers for EAA145 at the November Chapter meeting.  Consider who should be our next:

1) President

2) Vise President

3) Treasurer

4) News letter Editor

Last month’s Chapter “meeting” was the annual bonfire at Riverview.  The food was good, the fire was hot, and the weather was clear.  Pilots, friends and family (including pets) had a great time.  Top marks to the organizers, especially the ones that ordered the weather J.

There were no monthly reports from the president or treasurer because of the bonfire.

Progress reports:  None reported.

Young Eagle News:  No scheduled Young Eagle rallies at this time; however, Dick flew 2 YE’s in October.
