Happy Belated 2024!
Although the airport has been socked in with snow and fog quite a bit this Winter, it seems to just increase our dreams of flying this Summer!
We had a great 2023 season, starting off with our Young Eagles event in early June, flying 59 kids! We have already started planning for our 2024 EAA Young Eagles Day to be held on SATURDAY, JUNE 1st. Please mark that day on your calendar and make whatever arrangements you need to participate as either a Pilot, Pilot's Assistant, or Ground Support member. This may sound silly, but I seem to recall having a tired face last year because of smiling so much...
Thanks to our EAA Coordinator, Rob Funk from the Sturgeon Bay EAA Chapter 630 who has already created the registration site for this event on the EAA Young Eagles website, and we will be posting that link when it becomes available 3 months prior to the event.
Jim Black, our Treasurer, and I have continued to work on replacing our bikes and will update you on that next month.
We are also in need of a Secretary to work with us and keep us organized, so please let me know if you or someone you know would be interested in contributing in this way.
We are also receiving some membership renewals and I request and encourage you to do so in the near future. The Friends have made such a significant and positive impact on the Ephraim-Gibraltar Airport and surrounding community - it is really a challenge to find another investment that offers this kind of returns! Besides the airport maintenance and improvements we perform, the Friends have helped FIVE local high school students pursue their pilot's license and committed to support THREE attend college to obtain a degree in a flight-related occupation. We have also been in contact with the local high school special event coordinator and Jim Rodrian will be teaching a course on working with composites and fiberglass to HS students this Spring!
I am really excited to see this level of activity and contribution, and I know it is going to keep on growing as more people get involved. Please let me know if you have any ideas for how the Friends can make the Airport and community a better place.
With best regards,
Jeff
