Chapter Picnic — Sunday, September 8

Our annual Chapter Picnic in September 2012

PLEASE NOTE DATE CHANGE: Picnic has been moved to Sunday, September 8!

Our annual Chapter Picnic will be Sunday, September 8. Please note the date change due to the Husker football game. It will once again be at Shoemaker Field – Denton Airfield (NE40) (11115 W Yankee Hill Rd – Denton, NE) at 5:00 p.m. We will eat dinner at 6. Please bring a dish that starts with the first letter of your last name; for example, if your last name is Peterson you could bring a potato salad. You may also want to bring your own chairs. After dinner, Dennis will be sharing some photos from Oshkosh 2013.

The picnic will take the place of our September Meeting. If you are interested in helping out either at the picnic or the day before, please contact President Cristi Higgins. Her contact information can be found on the Contacts page.

Chapter Breakfast — Saturday, August 17

The next Chapter Breakfast is Saturday, August 17th at the Crete Airport (CEK) from 8:00 a.m. – 10:00 a.m.  Everyone is invited to join us for some great food, plane talk, and camaraderie — all you can eat! Just bring your appetite and a $4 donation!

And those pancakes and omelets don’t cook themselves! We’re always looking for volunteers to help with the breakfast, even if it’s just occasionally. There are a number of things we can use help with, not just cooking. If you’re interested in helping out, please call Andy Lahr at 402-840-5235. Thank you!
