Hey Guys,
I recently did my presentation for chapter 288 to try and start a new Young Aviators. My good friend Mason did a presentation with some pics of the old, and what we hope to become. We also had an unexpected surprise... Jack Pelton flew down here to Spruce Creek and witnessed our presentation! Then, what happened next was unbelievable. Mr. Pelton stood up and gave the Young Aviators of Port Orange $3,000 from their personal account! But wait, that wasn't enough for 288, they matched that price! We ended up with over $6,000 to get our group started! Embry Riddle has also given us a donation, we just don't know how much.
So far we have had three very successful meetings and are going to elect presidents and VP's along with secretaries and treasurers this Friday. Overall, I think this will be another very good branch of the Young Aviators.
Well, that's it for now. I can' wait to come back out and visit you guys and see how much the B-25 has grown! Plus we'll get to be in Oshkosh!!!!!
Best of wishes, Ryan.
