information on a planned direct broadcast by KLUP during the San Antonio awards
presentation. One of the three speaker positions
has been offered to the chapter. Al will
be determining who will represent the chapter as we get closer to the date.
COMMUNITY PARTNERS
We received twelve new flyers on recruiting
community partners. National AFA has set
a chapter goal of one new CP per month.
FUND RAISERS
Al Swaim briefed that in light of the
possible loss of AETC Symposium income, the chapter may need to start to
investigate other fund raising projects.
He is looking to the second, third, and fourth quarters of this year. One of the possibilities would be to man a
concession booth at the air show this fall.
Anyone with suggested fund raising ideas please contact Al so we can
consider them.
