Chapter237PreAirVentureWorkParty

Once again, EAA is beginning preparations of the grounds for AIRVENTURE 2014 in
Oshkosh. EAA headquarters has invited our chapter members to come to Oshkosh and
participate in a Weekend Work Party. The Chapter 237 work party weekend will be
held June 28-29.
Preparation for AirVenture would be impossible without the significant assistance of
volunteers. Tasks will vary, but include carpentry, grass cutting, painting, general
maintenance, cleaning, gardening, etc. Any talent/expertise you have can be
beneficial in the preparations. Volunteers are provided accommodations in the
Bunkhouse or binder House for the weekend as well as meals in the volunteer kitchen
and refreshments at the work site. You will be required to bring a sleeping bag, pillow,
towel, washcloths, soap/shampoo, etc.
Additionally, we are invited to attend a FREE seminar on that Saturday evening by
Charlie Becker (EAA Director of Communities & Homebuilt Community Manager) on
ow To Get Started in Homebuilding. This will be a very interesting and informative
seminar. Charlie is an active pilot, homebuilder and aircraft owner. He has built and
flow a Sonex tri-gear and is currently scratch building a Super Cub clone (called the
Pirate Cub, www.facebook.com/piratecub
H
).
If you are interested in participating, please let me know at your earliest possible
convenience. ALL ARE WELCOMED! We normally depart ANE on the Friday
afternoon prior, but whenever you can get there will be fine. It was a long, cold winter.
What better way to have FUN in nice weather and lose some of the insulation we all
obtained.
