CYBER PATRIOT

 

Chris Cook has contacted Al Swaim with 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.
