Last year, our Board of Directors made the decision to provide free digital copies of our Newsletter to individuals who were recommended by a board member or a current Chapter 17 member. The thought was, and remains that when other aviators saw the value of our newsletter and our Chapter, they would join us as a full-fledged (paying) member.
This has been rewarding in many ways and will be continued. We ask our regular Members to continue the practice. If you are a ‘Newsletter Only’ Member, we encourage you to join the majority of us who are paying members. Our major source of revenue is through dues. We fund programs, the Young Eagle Flights, our outstanding Banquet and other worthwhile events through dues.
If you, for any reason, prefer NOT to join the Chapter as a paying member, please maintain your ‘Newsletter only’ membership. You are receiving it because somebody thinks of you were a valued member of the aviation community. Please enjoy the Newsletter, come to our meetings, take advantage of our programs, help us grow …and continue to support General Aviation. Memberships are twelve months calendar year, so if you join or renew today, you will be a member until April 2017.
If you would like to become a member, it is easy to do by credit card or PayPal account at www.eaa17.org. An individual Chapter 17 membership, which only costs $20, also includes your spouse. If you join or renew at one of our regular meetings you will also receive a new EAA Chapter Patch.
