Experimental Aircraft Association Chapter 477

It's time once again for the December Social Gathering of EAA477. This year the party will be December 21st at Gilligan's Seafood Restaurant on Ladson Road. See below for details.

Next Meeting Saturday Dec 14th, 2013
11:00 AM Walterboro Airport

Our next meeting is for Saturday December the 14th. Coffee will be put on early for those that want to come out for a cup.  There is not going to be an official "presentation", but a lot of tire kicking.  Glen's Cozy will be taxing around and probably some other stuff.  Weather permitting, we expect to fly more Young Eagles on Saturday.  We will have a chili cook off, so if you want to bring out you best, please do and share it with others.  

We will also have confirmation/election of officers for 2014.  Slate is President: Glen Phelps, Treasurer: Lee Miller, Vice President: Roy Carson (who accepted a request to fill this spot) and Secretary: Kevin Thorp.  Also, Greg Horne will continue as Webmaster, Kevin Thorp will continue as Newsletter Editor and Roger Medlin will assume duties of Young Eagle Coordinator.

Annual Party Details

The Annual EAA Chapter477 Social Gathering/Holiday Party will be held at Gilligan's Seafood Restaurant on Ladson Road (see Google Map below).  Put Saturday, December 21st on your calendar for this event.  The gathering will be in the Banquet Room with food being served at 6pm (just tell the hostess you're with  the EAA party).  You can come a little early and socialize before the meal and/or stay for awhile afterwards.

Each person will be responsible for paying for their meal ordered from the menu (the full menu will be available for ordering) with the following exceptions. As an enticement for 2014 dues paid EAA477 members a subsidy of $5 per meal for each of you and one guest has been commissioned by the executive committee (upon the purchase of at least $5 in food each).  Dues can be paid at the gathering before the meal if you haven't paid before and will still count for the subsidy.  As an added bonus, 2014 dues paid during December are only $20 whereas delaying until after the first of the year bumps them up to $25.

You do not have to be a member of chapter 477 to attend, just to get the subsidy.
The scheduled program presenter will not be able to attend so we are looking into other possibilities (suggestions are welcome, contact Roger or Glen) but program or not this should be an enjoyable social gathering and "get to know each other" party.
