<a href="https://eaa179.org/wp-content/uploads/2023/08/Picture1.png"><img class="wp-image-6348 alignright" src="https://eaa179.org/wp-content/uploads/2023/08/Picture1.png" alt="" width="137" height="131" /></a>This month we will hear from Members who attended the world’s greatest aviation celebration, EAA’s <a href="https://www.eaa.org/airventure">AirVenture</a>, commonly known as “Oshkosh”.

Art Woods will kick off the program, ”If you attended this year, we invite you to share your stories during an impromptu round-table discussion. Bring photos on a USB drive to cycle through during dinner or to illustrate your story.”

And … we will hear from our scholarship recipients that attended the <a href="https://www.eaa.org/eaa/youth/eaa-aviation-and-flight-summer-camps/eaa-air-academy">EAA Air Academy</a> in Oshkosh, being released to experience AirVenture for the first time!

Each month, these “Chapter Gatherings” offer time to network with programs centered on exchanging experiences and ideas about aviation – airplanes, flying, and flying activities – rather than the chapter business which is addressed in bimonthly Board meetings. Again this month, in the midst of the summer’s heat, we will meet at a restaurant. You may anticipate that with cooler weather in September, we will return to Double Eagle II Airport.
