| Fall Calling! Your contribution, engagement and support |
 |
| As we begin to plan our Chapter Fall Programs of Fly-Outs, fund-raising Breakfasts, flights for kids, our membership gatherings with invited speakers and much more we turn to the membership for help, for support, for engagement – for volunteering. We have ambitions that cannot be achieved without these inputs from the membership. As you see our calls for help, please consider responding, joining the team, helping where you can. It makes a big difference, as ‘more hands make for light work’. It’s fun too! We have just two Pancake Breakfast fund-raising events remaining this year. These are fun events and we’ve grown a large following amongst our local supporters who enjoy our food and our company. Look-out for our emails and offer to join the team to help with set-up on Friday, or the Breakfast on Saturday. TFR’s and weather have greatly impacted the number of Fly-Outs we’ve accomplished so far this year. But we’re still trying! Pilots/Plane Owners – we always need you and will be appreciative of you offering to ferry fellow members to the chosen destinations that the Chapter Events Team have organized for us. Please join us. Similarly, TFR’s and challenging weather have forced cancellation of several of our Young Eagles – Free Flights for Kids events so far this year. We have at least two planned for the Fall, on our Breakfast dates. We need help with the Ground Crew and with additional pilots/planes. Please look our for those emails and sign-up, join the team and – again – have fun providing grateful kids with a positive aviation experience. Other than our amazing members, our greatest asset is our Hangar/Meeting Room, both of much need some TLC this Fall & Winter. We’ll be forming Hangar Work Parties to work on several projects and will need particular skills which we know exist amongst our membership. Join us please, as we work to maintain our fabulous facility and keep it I great shape. To our regular volunteers, Breakfasteers, pilots, events team members and to all those who have stepped-up this year – congratulations, thanks, we greatly valued your input and enjoyed your company! So, over to you. Look out for our calls for your contribution, and volunteering where and when you can to keep this amazing Chapter moving forward and upward.

Our next Fly-Out is SUNDAY August 21st, to Lancaster Airport KLNS and Fiorentino’s for lunch at the airport.
This is a short flight but a great opportunity to practice your controlled-airspace skills with a very GA friendly, accommodating and welcoming Tower and to enjoy a fine lunch with Chapter members, new and old!
Meet at the EAA240 hanger at 10:30am Sunday, for wheels-up at 11am.
We’re hoping for many planes, pilots and hearty appetites!!
Please let the Flight Leader know via email (events@EAA240.org) if you’ll be piloting a plane (open seats and any weight constraints) or coming along as a passenger.
Seat assignments and additional flight details are provided at the Flight Briefing held at the Chapter Hangar prior to departure.
Please register for the flight using the email link. Please include your contact information so we can reach you if needed.
As the date approaches, any event updates are provided by the Flight Leader and sent in emails, posted to our web site, as well as Facebook and Twitter. Please check for updates or changes.
Planes & pilots are needed! Please advise on open seats when registering.
The Chapter Events Team works hard to prepare, organize and execute on Fly-Outs. Your support and engagement is appreciated.

Saturday at the Hangar
Members gathering for coffee, cake & camaraderie
Hardly a crumb of cake remained after the gathering Saturday at the chapter hangar and it was good to catch-up with members over coffee. Thanks for dropping-in!
A reminder to Chapter members – and especially our newer members – that it is anticipated in addition to Chapter 240, membership in EAA National is maintained annually.
There are many benefits to National membership, including discounts to OSH and other events. The EAA Monthly magazine is also viewed as one of the best in aviation and is included in membership.
National membership can be accomplished by clicking here, and at the eaa.orgweb site.
If you desire, you can forward your EAA National membership number to the Chapter Membership Director by email here. We will note the details in our database.
