May 2016 Meeting Notice MARK YOUR CALENDARS

EAA 31 MARK YOUR CALENDERS
Next Meeting Wed May 4th

We are having very special guests.
“ROSIE THE RIVERTER” group will be sharing their stories.
All these great Gals are in their 90’s now, but during WWII they built airplanes and did all sorts of jobs. They were riveters, welders, drivers, defense department workers, farm workers, plane spotters — and every other job that needed doing while the men were away fighting. Maybe your Grandmother or Great-Grandmother was a Rosie! This would be a good meeting to bring your Wife or Girl Friend (but please not both).
Learn some History and find out what it was like on the home front during WWII. This should be very interesting.

At the South End of Creswell Airport at the EAA31 clubhouse. Invite some people that don’t usually attend our meetings.

Burgers, dogs, salad & drinks 6:00 PM $5.00
Meeting and “ROSIES” 7:00 PM $0.00

Hal and Milo Skinner Memorial Services

President Gary Ludeke asked me to post a brief notice on the upcoming memorial services for EAA Chapter 31 member Hal Skinner and his grandson Milo.
As you probably know, they were both killed in the crash of Hal’s Luscomb 8A on Labor day at the north end of the Creswell Airport.

There will be a memorial service at Eugene Faith Center, 13th and Polk, at 3:00PM on this coming Sunday, 9/13/2015

Our thoughts and prayers are with Carol (Hal’s wife), Carrie (Milo’s wife) and Gene and Pam, and all their extended family. This is a huge loss to the aviation community and the larger community also.
