Program Report. October speaker will be LaVerne Reed, FAA New England development director. Our membership should be on the lookout throughout our flying travels for interesting personalities to present at our meetings. We should decide on a program frequency. Monthly? Or skip the summer? This was left open for future discussion.

Chapter Member Eric Brown is asking the chapter to support an educational day with the Girl Scouts during the summer of 2007. This would entail working up a curriculum, and filling with activities for the day. Flying the Scouts is probably not an option based on historical knowledge of Girl Scout requirements.

Sunday, September 17 fly-out destinations: Cranland (pancakes) and Myricks (fly-in).

50 – 50 raffle won by David Clark. $16 donated to the chapter. Thank you!!
