I could not get this to go to Fly-in, so, please excuse on this site.
We have read all the comments on the subject of whether the EOC is fulfilling
everyone's needs. This is how we feel about it.
One of the reasons why my wife and I enjoy the EOC as much as we do is
because of the comraderie among the members who are able to attend the
annual conventions. The friendships we have formed and the willingness to
share information is more important to us than a fancy convention and a slick
newsletter. As hosts of the 2007 convention we were especially pleased by
the willingness of everyone to pitch in to take down tables when storm clouds
were on the horizon, so that, planes could be moved under roof. Then to pitch
in to set them up again. Others helped empty trash cans and assist anywhere
needed.
We feel that the maintenance seminars at the conventions are informative and
valuable.
Being just a couple of "bumpkins" from the Plains, we feel the present board
of
directors and the EOC management have done and are doing an excellent job and
go out of their way to be helpful to the members.
A person does not have to be a Wing Leader, a Director or an EOC Officer in
order
to host a convention or fly-in. If you would like to have a fly-in, just do
it. All it
takes is a willingness to get your hands a little dirty and put in some time.
I have read comments on this forum that the conventions are being held too
far from
some members homes to be attended. Simple solution... host it in your area!
My wife and I hope to see everyone in Wisconsin in 2008!
Let's not breakup the present EOC, let's just try to make it better so that
it fulfiills
everyone's needs. The 20 or 30 dollars dues is not that great....after all
that only
amounts to 4 to 6 gallons of 100LL.
