EAA284 Chapter Meeting June 14 2020

EAA Chapter 284 will hold its June meeting on Sunday, June 14th at 2:30 PM at Red Stewart Airfield. The Stewarts still prefer meetings not be held  inside, so we will hold our meeting at the hanger. 

Today I watched  the webinar on recommendations for food service operation. I tried to call the Warren County Health Department for their current standards. Unfortunately I had to leave a voice mail. Perhaps they will call tomorrow. We will discuss our upcoming Taildragger fly in. 

Also, since we now have TV to use a a computer monitor we will take a look at information on the EAA Web site.

Update: EAA284 Chapter Meeting May 17 2020

EAA Chapter 284 will hold its May 2020 chapter meeting on Sunday, May 17 at 2:30 PM.

Our meeting will be held at the hanger that we use for the pancake breakfast. Tim Carrier and I have discussed the logistics of this location. John Belluardo’s Luscombe is in the hanger and we believe that we can accommodate this issues. John has agreed to accommodate us.

The weather forecast for Sunday is temperatures in the upper 70’s with a chance of rain in the afternoon. If there is no rain we can meet in front of the hanger. If thee is rain we can meet inside the hanger. We are generally a small group so that should not be a major issue.

The agenda will be 3D printing and my recent experience. There will be a demonstration of TinkerCad. We will be able to set up a TV with a computer hook up.

We will also need to have a short discussion about our annual pancake breakfast and Taildragger Fly In.

At this meeting, we will discuss the possibility of using the EAA’s provided web site. I can see advantages and disadvantages. If you would like to see what EAA is offering the webinar was recorded and is available on the EAA web site. View the video if you have the opportunity.

We have had a request from another chapter to donate our Young Eagle credits to them so that they can send two of their Young Eagles to Air Camp. We currently have 15 YE credits valued at $5.00 each. We can spend the money on something to directly benefit our YE program od donate them to another chapter or return them to the EAA. A few years ago several chapters donated YE credits to us so that we could send a YE to Air Camp. Unfortunately, that person experienced a family health emergency and was unable to attend.
