One of the
most important benefits obtainable from membership in an EAA chapter is
tapping in to the experience of other members. Whether it be
flying or building experience, there is always a wealth of knowledge
available in an EAA Chapter. One of the most important resources to
members building aircraft is that of Technical Counselor. Technical Counselors
can help shave off many hours on a project and much frustration simply
by the fact that they've been there and know how to avoid many of the
exasperating challenges every project is sure to have. They can
help EAA members present a “zero defect” aircraft at its final
inspection by the FAA. And that brings us Chapter member Garry Hardison
who has applied for the volunteer position of Technical Counselor for
Chapter 1171.
Although
a great supporter of our Chapter, we don't get to see Gary Hardison very
often at our Saturday meetings as that is when you will find Gary busily
managing Gary's Down East Seafood Restaurant in Arapahoe.
Outside of his busy weekend business, you will find Gary willing to share
his experience building beautiful aircraft. Today, Gary continues to
tinker and enjoy the RV9 he built in record time. And have you
been wondering what happened to Tradewind's CUB? Look no further
than Gary's "back forty" where you will often see Gary and his
son enjoying a lazy flight in the CUB over the farms of Pamlico
County. Look to hear more from Gary as soon as his application for
Technical Counselor is approved by EAA.

Remember, nothing gets done
without the dedication of someone, so please volunteer your time and skill
to make these events a reality. If everyone pitches in we will all
have a great time around our enthusiasm for flying.

A huge thank you
tor everyone who brought their dues and paper work for membership renewal
to the Jan. meeting. I loved all those $$ coming at me from all
sides! I have received more renewals in the mail too. As of
this writing we have received 28 out of 32 member renewals (counting EAA
numbers only). And we welcome back Joe Bach and Barbara Kelly.
I'll save the
detailed numbers for our Treasurer to announce at the next meeting, but we
have had some very generous donations to the scholarship fund along with
the renewals. A very special thank you to those donors.
