Chapter Members: Your Aerospace Education 2012 Scoresheets
need to get to Lynn by February 20th at the latest! Start keeping track for Aerospace Education
2013 Will be due in February 2014
so start keeping track now! NOTES ON CATEGORIES FOR SCORING LISTED ON FORM--Southwest Section (from the SWS 99s
chapter chairman's manual)
"Part of the mission statement of 99s International directs us to "Provide...aviation education in the community."
Take a peek at the activities listed on the form that qualify for "points" when we compete for this award at spring
section meeting. Members and chapters who participate in these varied projects reap immeasurable gratification and "just
plane fun" from presenting Flying Companion Seminars, working with school children, flying local official and educators...and
the list goes on. The only problem is that we're so busy "doing" we often don't record our activities for
a whole year.Active
chapters are a lot more interesting and the vitality is catching!"
NOTE from Lynn:
All activities need DATE/NAME OF EVENT/PERSONS ATTENDING.
Perhaps if we all keep an Aero Educ. form in our log books, on our
calendars, with our rosters, or some other handy place, we'll be more inclined to fill it out on a regular basis. AND if we
start NOW, at the beginning of the competition year - January 1, 2013 to December 31, 2013
- maybe it will be easier. It is very difficult for the Aero. Educ. chair to compile data at the last minute.
Helpful Tip: KEEP THE SCORE SHEET PAGE IN YOUR LOG
BOOK OR A SAFE PLACE AND ADD YOUR DATES AND ACTIVITIES ON IT MONTHLY,QUARTERLY OR AS YOU DO THEM.
Hopefully, posting the form here on our website will help us all to stay
more current on tracking our activities and lead to a trophy for our chapter!
Send it to Lynn via Snail mail: Lynn Meadows,P.O. Box 111, Truckee, CA 96160 FAX:
