Save Our Flying Heritage

Happenings over the last year

Several accomplishments have been made over the last year

The Tax Exempt Certificate (501.C.3) has been awarded.
a suitable hanger for our first aircraft is located and provided for as a donation to the chapter by the Madison County Airport Authority

Membership

The current membership listing shows that the chapter now has XX Members (X Life, and XX yearly).
To this point the chapter was working to grow the membership as the aircraft grow, and thus far we have been predominantly quiet about membership.
As the presence is known more and more, we are working to increasing the membership by at least 15-20 members in the next year.

Goals and Efforts for the up coming year:

· Continue to work with a consultant to solicit corporate sponsorship

· Hangar Hunt – Continue the efforts to get the permanent home for the chapter with adequate space for multiple aircraft (100’ x 100’ hangar costs approximately $800,000) through corporate sponsorship.

· T-hanger –continue to with the MDQ Airport Authority to set up the T-hangar up in preparation for the TH-55’s “temporary home”

· Airshow participation –

· RSA Open house and local Fly In participation need to be supported increased to accelerate the chapters growth

· Recruit additional members to grow the chapter

Goals and Efforts for the Following year:

· Continue to work with a consultant to solicit corporate sponsorship

· Get the large permanent hanger home built

· Secure aircraft

· Continue to grow the membership in the chapter.

To sum it up the Chapter is moving and we all need to keep the inertia going to keep it moving and growing.
