9:00 AM EAA 31 is going to have a clubhouse “cleanup” on Sat the 29th at 9:00 AM prior to our annual 4th of July YE flights.
We will load tables & chairs in a couple of PU trucks for EAA 1457’s Fly in and Photo shoot late Sunday June 30th. That will clear out space for easy cleaning. We will clean mostly do windows and floors and general cobwebs. If you have window stuff, please bring it. No breakfast – just cleaning. The more we have, the quicker we can finish. The chairs and tables will be back Monday July 1st.
