Special board meeting...
Chapter president, Bill Repucci called a special board meeting on Tuesday, April 3 to discuss and decide on the Andy Moscarelli Memorial Fund. Close to $2000 has been donated to the fund.
How to select and fund a Young Eagle to attend EAA's Air Academy in Oshkosh, WI as well as choosing and paying for young student pilots locally were discussed at length. The board decided that we would not send a young person alone via commercial airline due to current travel confusion by the airlines. (Cancelled flights and overbooking are common.)
There was a lot of favor for giving 5 hours of

flying les-sons (but not solo) to get student pilots started. Kathy Jones at Lincoln County has offered to donate training time to this effort.
After the meeting, Bill Repucci talked with EAA and determined that there was prospect from the midwest that is looking for funding to attend the Air Academy. Bill asked for a copy of her information.
If you have received YE credits from EAA, please consider donating those too.
