Upcoming event.....Young Eagles Rally

After our recent trip to Lunken Airport for their aviation days, Emily, Grant and Jacob were thrilled to learn about this upcoming opportunity where they would get to fly in a small airplane for FREE with a local pilot. I will admit, I am a bit apprehensive, never did really understand the physics as to why a plane is able to stay in the air, I much prefer to travel by car/van. But the kids are excited (and Cade a bit disappointed as he isn't 8 years old and able to participate). Ironically, we just got our baseball schedules and Jacob who usually plays at 10 AM on Saturdays has a bye that weekend....looks like the flights are meant to be.....here are the details!

Saturday, June 10; 8:30am - Noon
Young Eagles Rally
Clermont County Airport
4184 Taylor Road, Batavia, Ohio 45103
Hawk Building
Ages: 8 - 17
Cost: Free
RSVP to: LaShanda (courtesy RSVP by Wednesday, May 31st)

RSVP's: B. Campbell (1), L. McFarland (3), C. Yates (1), C. Day (1), J. Hensley (2), D. Cook (1), J. Winslow (3), L. Riesenberg (3), C. Gulick (2), C. Hall (1), L. Helbling (1), S. Smith (1)

If you are planning to attend, there are 2 things we would appreciate you doing (though neither is mandatory): 1) RSVP to me so EAA Aviation, the sponsor, can better plan for the number of pilots and planes needed. This should help reduce everyone's wait time; 2) pre-register your child(ren) at http://www.eaa174.org/YERallyRegistration.asp. Neither of these steps will move you ahead in line. They are simply courteous steps to allow EAA to better plan. Participants are taken on a first come, first served basis. Phil Cady can also be contacted at (513) 237-5163 to get more info.
