CPR
Dr. John Isbell has been looking into a CPR course for EAA members. There are EMTs available that would put on a course at our request. Cost is unknown.

Young Eagles
DeKalb County Tourism office put our last Young Eagles information on their display board outside the Tourism office. Unfortunately the weather did not cooperate and no Young Eagles were flown this month.

User Fees
The FAA proposals regarding user fees and their new funding plan was discussed. This is a proposal that all general aviation pilots should be concerned about. Please take the time to contact your Congressional delegation about this issue. To learn more >>

Current FAA funding expires in September. It is important that we make our voices heard on this issue.

2007 Calendar
The 2007 EAA 890 calendars are still available at the Fort Payne FBO for $10 each.
