Our monthly meeting is usually held the second Saturday of the month.

Upcoming Events:

Thursday night May 23 at 6pm

Lake Havasu airport (KHII) is planning an open house for November 16, and we've been invited to help with the planning.

This year Lake Havasu was named the Arizona Airport of the Year! What a great opportunity to showcase the airport

to the public. Our chairman, Alison, will be attending-contact her if you have any ideas or suggestions for what our chapter

can do to help.

April Monthly Meeting - Saturday the 6th:

This month, we are volunteering at the "Legends Over the Colorado" airshow at the Bullhead Laughlin airport. What a

great way to have our meeting and enjoy the airshow! If you are one of the volunteers, be sure you have filled out and

turned in your waivers. Contact Alison if you have any questions.
