EAA Chapter 1271

04/16/2022

Time to get EAA Chapter 1271 going again.

Normally we would have the April meeting on the 16th (the third Saturday) but since that is Easter weekend a lot of people have other stuff planned so the meeting for this month will be on April 23 at 12:00.

Please try to be there. Let me know by return email if you will be there and how many so we can have enough burgers for everyone.

We look forward to seeing everyone.

Richard

Please let us know if you will be able to attend. thank you!!
