We have received a $250 check from charter member Robert Harshman. Robert has not been able to attend meetings for several years due to work schedule and health issues. Each year he sends a book of stamps to mail his newsletter and a check - $10 dues and the remainder as a donation to the chapter. We thank Robert for his continued support of the chapter. His note said he does miss an actual newsletter; it ‘s now just the minutes and meeting info. Unfortunately photos and newsletter information is online only now.
Chapter member Lisa Johnson is one of the featured area art teachers with some of their work on display at the Civic Center through Tuesday.
There were 13 Boy Scouts for the Merit Badge Academy held December 3rd. The day long program had scouts from Fort Leonard Wood, Ozark, Nixa, Republic and West Plains. Aaron Rogers, AirEvac headed it up with assistance from Henny Christensen and President White. Aaron said the aviation badge is highly sought after because the scouts have heard about our facility, what we do here and they want to come and see it. This year’s group had done their homework and was ready with answers to Aaron’s questions.
