ANNUAL MEETING VOTE RESULTS: At our Annual Meeting on Saturday, December 13, we voted in the new slate of officers for the next two years. They are: Alexander Mouschovias, President; Elizabeth Antoine-Hands, Vice-President; Alan Groves, Treasurer; and Mathieu Fregeau, Secretary. Many thanks to these members for being willing to carry the torch for Chapter 20! We also passed the amended bylaws. The biggest change was the lowering of chapter dues. Individual memberships are $20, Family memberships are $40, and students 25 and under who are enrolled in an educational institution are FREE!

A Message From Our President November 2025 How this year has flown by! It's been a busy time for Chapter 20 and we are now about to close out the year. We managed to restart our Gatherings with some fabulous speakers. We held two Pancake Breakfasts this year and anticipate making that a regular event. We've completed the youth build for the RV-12 2.0 and are currently negotiating its sale. We moved into Hangar 1040 so we are now consolidated on the south side of the airport, and it's being used for a build project with others to come. Young Eagles Rallies have continued to draw large numbers of kids wanting to fly. We have continued to sponsor Ray Scholars and have had Sophia Vu successfully complete her private pilot training!
We have had to defer our Annual Meeting to Saturday December 13th at 12:30 PMat the Skyway Center. At this meeting, we will be voting on the new slate of officers for the next two years as well as amending our bylaws. The meeting is open to all, but only dues-paying members can vote. One big announcement coming out of the bylaws changes is that we are reducing the yearly dues from $45 to $20 in the hope that will ease the barrier to becoming a member. We will also be celebrating some volunteers who have made significant contributions to the chapter with their time and talent over the last few years. Additionally, we will have a Holiday Reception after the meeting with lunch and drinks.
This will be my last President's Message as I will be stepping down as President of Chapter 20 at the end of the year. It has been my privilege and honor to serve the chapter and I want to thank all of you who have given so generously of your time, talent and treasure to help us in our mission to promote aviation in general and specifically to the next generation. I plan on staying active in the chapter, and will look forward to sitting with you at future Gatherings!
