| Christmas & Holiday Party 2021 – Saturday, December 11th, 11am |
| Our annual holiday gathering for members and families needs to be a little different this season and we’ve opted to have a lunchtime gathering, with food and good cheer, as we meet to celebrate the end of a challenging period, and the start of a whole new year, hoping for much better times for all. Join us Saturday December 11th, starting at 11am, at the Chapter Hangar. Bring a seasonal or party dish to share, we’ll supply the soda’s, tea and coffee.  This will be an ‘Open Hangar’ event, where we’ll mingle and mix around the members projects, with no arranged seating. This worked well for us in our November Membership Meeting, we’ll do it again for this holiday event. This event replaces our regular December Membership Meeting of Monday, December 6th. So, save the date, mark your calendars and plan on joining with your membership buddies, families and our friends from the Flight School, Airport staff and Brandywine Soaring for this seasonal gathering. It should be a lot of fun! Questions/comments? communications@eaa240.org  |
Stop by the Chapter Hangar Saturday morning at 10am, November 20th for some Hangar Flying interlaced with ample Coffee & Cake.
Relax with fellow-members, take a check on the hangar plane-builds under way, visit the extensive Chapter Aviation Library, or just chill.
Secret Service restrictions or not, this gathering goes ahead! See you there.

Longtime Chapter member Paul Maute passed away this past week, at home with his family in New Jersey. Paul was always ready to contribute to Chapter activities, joining the team…
Sadly, destination and return flight weather is “iffy” at best, and we’ve opted to cancel this fly-out. Better-safe-than-sorry. Always!
Look out for future events and Fly-Outs as we try to beat the weather and flight restrictions.

Loss of member Dan McCaffery (Snr) We learned this week of the passing of long-time Chapter member Dan Mccaffery, lost to complications arising from COVID-19, after a stay in hospital.Widely…
 The Holly Run is ON!!!Everyone on Tangier Island who wishes to be vaccinated has been vaccinated so we will be making our annual pilgrimage to spread Christmas cheer on Tangier again this year December 5th with a snow date of the 12th! We understand that many of you have concerns about COVID so we do have some modified procedures for COVID safety this year. BREAKFAST @ W29: Since I really can’t leave the hangar door open for ventilation in December for breakfast, we are going to require that everyone who joins us for breakfast with Santa at Bay Bridge be vaccinated. We will not be checking cards. We trust you. For those of you who do not feel comfortable getting vaccinated or who are vaccinated but still don’t feel comfortable eating in an indoor group setting even with vaccinated people, feel free to meet us directly on Tangier. (You’ll need to bring your own holly.) LUNCH @ LORAINE’S: Everyone is welcome to join us for lunch. If you do not feel comfortable eating lunch indoors with people of mixed vaccination status, there is an outdoor area with picnic tables a few yards from Loraine’s at the mail boat dock. You will be able to order carry-out and take it there, to your plane, back home, or any place else you feel comfortable eating. CHRISTMAS CHURCH SERVICE: There will be a church service. Everyone is welcome. GENERAL UPDATE: Members of the organizing committee were on the island last week before the big storm hit. Everything was quite flooded even at low tide. Rising sea-level is continuing to create hardship on the island for an again population. Quite a few peple we have worked with over the years to organize the Holly Run have passed on or moved off of the island. The estimated population is now about 400 people. The rising water is also causing the islanders to park more and more stuff up on the airport ramp (the high point on the island) to keep it dry. This will unfortunately decrease our parking capacity. We will once again this year be raising money for the various funds that the church administers to help the widows and others on the island who need assistance to make it through Tangier’s harsh winters. Please plan to donate to help our our host community. More details to come. REGISTER HERE We look forward to seeing you on The Run! More information? helen@chesapeakesportpilot.com |
