President’s Message
Hello EAA members and family, This is Stephen Foster and I am the new President of EAA Chapter 1432. I would like to thank all our friends and members for their continued support and look forward to seeing you at the Hanger for a meeting, event or a BBQ this year. We have a lot of new things in the works and if its been awhile since you have been out please come join us again. The weather has finally started to get warm and we look forward to seeing everyone soon.
One thing I would like to do this year is continue our Thursday Build night. Every Thursday night we would like to get together and build something. Any ideas? Work with the students, help a member with a repair or project, make something. Have any aviation related ideas for this night?
The new year will come with goal settings and new challenges. Please think about volunteering and partici-pating with chapter activities. Volunteerism is what drives the chapters success and of course monetary donations. Thank you to those members that have done these two important things to continue to make the chapter grow.
I hope to see all of you soon and will continue to push for more club engagement and activities.
Stephen Foster President
