| CHAPTER
MEETING DVD ON ITS WAY |
| The
2010 Chapter Meeting DVD was mailed to every chapter
president last month. Their purpose is to provide
additional content for upcoming chapter meetings. This
edition features EAA Founder Paul Poberezny's
reflections on the early days of EAA; a look ahead to
EAA AirVenture Oshkosh 2010; and a new segment,
"Ask the AME" (aviation medical examiner),
with Dr. Greg Pinnell of the EAA Aeromedical Advisory
Council. Also included will be several "Hints for
Homebuilders" and last year's standing-room-only
presentation at Theater in the Woods featuring Sully
Sullenberger and Jeff Skiles from USAir Flight 1549 -
"The Miracle on the Hudson." As always we
welcome your comments and suggestions for future topics
at chapters@eaa.org.

VOLUNTEER OPPORTUNITIES AT
AIRVENTURE
|
Here's a way you can volunteer
to support the future of aviation: Volunteer at
KidVenture. Volunteer Bob Meder sent out this request:
"I'm a volunteer and
one of the coordinators at the Young Eagles Flight
Education area at KidVenture. This is an area where
young people get an exposure to all facets of flight,
ranging from aerodynamics and human factors to aircraft
design, regulations, finally culminating with some
loggable time from CFIs using approved basic ATDs. This
is a great experience for both the kids and adults
involved and helps lay the foundation for the future.
I'd like to invite any
chapters that will be attending AirVenture to host one
of the booths. We already have representation from
several organizations, but it would be wonderful to have
representation from the chapters. All it would take is a
commitment of some time on the part of a few volunteers.
You would not have to commit to the entire week, and a
rotation would be set up so no one would have to spend
the entire day at KidVenture - we're just looking for
participation to cover the entire week. Skills required?
Other than the dual instruction being given by the CFIs
on the ATDs, only knowledge of aviation is required. We
provide the syllabus and the materials needed to provide
for a great educational experience.
If you're interested in
participating in a great event that will help shape a
youngsters future, the future of aviation, and add a
real highlight to your visit to Oshkosh, please feel
free to send me a message, rvmeder@cox.net."
