Chapter BBQ

The RHS 99s and their families met on July 9th for an BBQ and very short meeting in which we officially welcomed Rhonda as our new Chairman, and thanked Heather for leading us there last two years. Officers were gifted with prints of Amelia Earhart, Bess Coleman, and a small piece of wall art with an Amelia Earhart quote.

The best part of the day however, was spending time together talking aviation, checking out Heather’s and Laura’s respective planes, and eating some delicious food.

Many thanks to Heather for hosting our BBQ in her hanger, and double thanks for Laura for bringing her strawberry pretzel salad again. If you haven’t had it, trust me, it’s delicious and worth every single calorie.

Sometimes the most interesting things happen at the “after party”, and our BBQ was no exception. With three remaining couple wrapping things up, it came up that Heather’s inflatable pilot/plane Santa was broken. This of course necessitated it being taken out, examined, partially disassembled, analyzed and finally reassembled after it was determined that a fuse needed to be replaced. Naturally the fuse and replacement fuse were located in the plug, making the disassembly and reassembly unnecessary but hilarious. The important part of this story however is that this Christmas, make sure to drive by Heather’s to see Santa flying in her front yard! (PS, in case you didn’t know it, Heather LOVES Christmas).
