EAA Chapter 569

We are sending out an extra edition of our newsletter because we have a couple items that should be communicated before the next regular issue.      

The big news is that we have a sponsor for the TriMotor. The Nebraska Ford Dealer’s Association has agreed to become the major sponsor for our event.       This, of course, defines the way we will proceed with a great many details of organization and promotion. We will redo and reprint our posters and mini-flyers to include the names of our sponsors and contributors. As soon as we can get our new materials printed, we will get out another distribution to the members.       We have a lot of seats to fill and the success of our stop on the TriMotor Tour will depend upon how thoroughly we promote it. Be sure to put up a poster in the gas station, grocery store, barbershop, coffee shop, restaurant, post office, or other businesses that you might patronize. In addition to the posters that you put up in your own business or place of employment, give some posters and mini-flyers to friends and ask them to distribute them for you. This could be especially helpful if the friend works in a place with high employment numbers.       GIVE A MINI-FLYER TO EVERYONE YOU MEET, EVERY DAY.      Be sure to take along material if you go to any fly-in, breakfast or other aviation event.      Don’t worry about running out of material – we will keep printing it as long as necessary.      Cody Welsh, the field guy for the TriMotor tour will be in town in the next few days and will help us with the final details of getting ready for the Ford’s arrival.       There has been a change in the plane’s schedule; we will fly the media flights on Thursday September 20.       Many of our members have already committed to working a shift while we are flying passengers on the historic airplane. If you haven’t signed up, contact Andy Lahr,and he will find a place for you on the schedule. Don’t miss out on the fun.
