We are once again at the time where we conduct the annual Chapter Officer election process. Any Chapter 186 member who would like to consider filling an officer position should let one of the Chapter 186 Board Members know. The current President, Vice President and Secretary (Bob Prange, Jim Stone and Dan Botzer, respectively) have indicated a willingness to serve in their positions again for 2025. We would like to thank Brian Lester for serving as our Treasurer for the past two years. Brian has indicated he would still like to help in other areas but will step down from the Treasurer position. Any Chapter 186 member interested in fulfilling the treasurer duties can contact Bob or Brian to learn what the position entails.

Congratulations to Grant Peterson, our 2024 Ray Scholar! Grant earned his Private Pilot certificate in September. Grant has volunteered often at our Young Eagles events as well as attending school and working. He completed his flight training at Aviation Adventures.
Please plan to attend the Annual Chapter 186 Chili Cook-Off on October 26. This event always involves some great dishes in addition to fantastic chili concoctions. To enter your chili, bring it by 11:30 AM and make sure you name your chili but leave your name off. The judges will lock the hangar door and do their magic to choose the winners.
