EAA Chapter 582 takes
1st Place
in the 2005 Maumee
Holiday Light Parade!
Click any photo for a larger image. Sorry
for the poor quality, my little digital doesn't do night shots very well. Tony.
I would like to thank everyone who came out for the parade and all who helped on the float. We had over 40 people working on the float and in the parade. If you haven't heard we took 1st place, woo hoo!. The weather was great for a winter parade and the snow held off until we got to the restaurant. I wish I had a time lapse video of the float going together it was truly an exercise in CRM. I think we have a good chance that Santa will be really good to us this year. Tony Kirk took some great photos, so look for them on our web site. If there we any others there that took pictures please forward them to Tony or me and we'll get them on the web site. Once again thank you to all.

Stuff from 2004
Wellllll!!! Was
that a banquet or what!
My heartfelt appreciation
and gratitude to every one of our members who
participated in a very successful fund raising auction at our annual Winter
Awards Banquet.
We truly had an impressive number of high quality, desirable items. These
were all auctioned off in a fast paced, fun filled, 60 minutes with the
chapter realizing a profit of just over $2000.00, a record for our fund
raising auction. My personal gratitude is extended to chapter members Jerry
Hoot, Mike Whitescarver and Lonnie Prince for their help during the auction.
Almost every member who won a high bid went home with a real bargain,
saving substantial amounts over normal retail purchasing, even wholesale
buying.
The chapter tool inventory was substantially increased through the very
generous donation of approximately $500.00 in hand tools donated by Tom
Leonhardt, P51 builder and long-time chapter member. When Tom's items were
being offered the members all voiced their desire to have them donated into
the tool inventory, available to all, rather than auction them off. So,
they were. Included in Tom's wonderful gift was his collection of 42 years
of Sport Aviation from 1961 forward. At this rate we will one day have a
complete library of Sport Aviation from the very first issue. A wonderful
and historically important treasure of valuable information and resources.
President Lonnie Price is to be congratulated for negotiating the $600.00
banquet hall fee to ZERO dollars. Lonnie also personally supported my
efforts by contacting every chapter member by telephone requesting
participation in the auction through a tax deductible gift of merchandise
that could be auctioned off in the chapter's behalf.
Lonnie also contacted area businesses including several restaurants with
positive and appreciated responses. Their gift certificates were used as
raffle prizes, with the single exception of Wally's on St. Rte. 795. Owner
Mike, who had initially agreed to support our auction with a $20.00 gift
certificate in recognition of the large 582 patronization each Saturday
morning, left 20 minutes after offering a $20.00 gift certificate. Just 30
minutes later our driver, who traveled more than 40 miles round trip,
arrived to pick up the certificate. It was declined.
Additionally, we were not able to auction the 50 gallons of av gas donated
by Wood County because Mike Hodges, at the very last second, was unable to
attend for health reasons. Mike has indicated he will still make the av gas
available and it might be auctioned to the highest bidder at the next
chapter meeting. Former member Chuck Shapler, a retired engineer and
professional artist generously donated two of his paintings and somehow the
driver who had volunteered to pick them up did not follow through and we
were not able to offer that beautiful artwork at the auction. However,
Chuck has offered to make them available for a future auction and we will
pick them up tomorrow.
I am personally grateful to all of our members for having made the 2004
chapter auction a huge success. Virtually the only banquet expenses were
the band and the awards (all very deserved) since the hall was free and
dinner fees covered meal costs and we had an open bar. The auction
eliminated the banquet and awards expense and allowed a very substantial
four-figure amount to be contributed into the chapter treasury. Precise
numbers will be available during the Treasurer's Report at the March Meeting.
Sincerely,
Randall Reihing
ATTENTION

Scout- Young Eagles @ Metcalf
The Saturday Young Eagle flight went well with over 30 young eagle kids flown. Working Ground was Zella Schramm and Kathy Prince. Pilots were Ron Sturgill, Loren Satler, Tom Lawrence, Jim Wurst, Larry Kaiser, Lonnie Prince, Nick Herman.
We had two Experimental Aircraft flying Young Eagles at our Saturday event which are always a hit and true spirit of the EAA. Jim Davis with his Barracuda and John McAvoy in his high performance Long-Eze. Thanks guys for the help
Thank all of you very much. Waffles made to order were served to the workers.
I sent a letter out yesterday informing I would be cooking FRESH Waffles, actually I should have phrased it cooked to order waffles. It was never meant to compete with the waffles made at the last breakfast we had at BG.
I have no deeper respect than for the lady that runs Cafe 582, she is one of the most hard working persons we have in our Chapter. Cafe 582, the Supper we had last month at the members meeting, future supper meetings and help she volunteers benefits our Chapter greatly.
At the last breakfast at BG Chris Keast was just a few days out of the hospital and still insisted on setting up and running the breakfast. Folks this is dedication. She made Waffles for two days ahead of the event so we could sell them at the breakfast. She plans and makes purchases for all our breakfast well in advance and is always ready.
I never heard it mentioned, but a few thought their waffles were on the hard side, my waffle at the breakfast was perfect. As guys are, some joked about them. My statement in yesterday E-Mail indicating I was going to make FRESH waffles was just a statement that I was making them on site. I was told I upset my Cafe 582 chairman and that is the last thing I would ever want to do.
My chairmen work hard for this chapter and I really appreciate what they do for our benefit.
My apologies Chris. I will try to do better in the future.
Lonnie Prince
Poker Run / Fall Bash
Saturday, August 9th was the date for EAA 582's first annual Poker run and Fall Bash.
POKER RUN
- Tom Lawrence organized EAA 582's first ever Poker run, there were 16 aircraft
with 33 contestants. Every seat was filled on all the aircraft as members, spouses,
and friends participated. The aircraft flew to four different airports were each
participant picked up a envelope. The fifth envelope was received as each
aircraft returned to Wood County Airport. After collecting all the envelopes,
Tom opened the envelopes and displayed all the hands at the Fall Bash. There
were three categories; Fastest time went to Brad Burdue - (Prize was a fire
extinguisher ) Slowest Time to Dr. Tom Walsh (Prize was a bottle of Prune Juice)
and the best hand went to Jim Wurst ($100.00) with a heart flush, King
high. Congratulations to all the winners, I know all those who
participated will return to try again.
FALL BASH - No one went away with an empty stomach as EAA 582 put on its first annual Fall Bash. Two large tents were erected at the south west corner of the field. The chapter supplied food and drink, and music was supplied by DJ Tom Ray. Impromptu events included Dancing, Karaoke, Model airplane flights, air powered model rockets, kits, and several received a ride in Bill Hirzel's N3N, with Brad Burdue at the controls, And just some good old Hangar Flying.
582 is SPAM. For those of you who receive their e-mail through America On Line (AOL), you won't be receiving any e-mail from EAA 582. It seems that AOL has identified our mail list as SPAM and falls within their unsolicited e-mail policy. We are currently in contact with AOL to see what we (or they) can do to remedy the problem. In the mean time, I guess we'll have to do without.
FREE TIEDOWN AT WOOD COUNTY - EAA 582 has negotiated with Wood County this exclusive bargain. Wood County Airport will waive the first 12 months of tie down expenses for Toledo 582 members who enter a lease agreement. This offer is limited in time and tie downs available, SO ACT NOW.
If your not currently a member, this could be an excellent opportunity to sign up. Download and print the membership FRONT and BACK, The mailing address is on the BACK form. (John 29 April 2003)
April 26 was a historic day for Toledo 582 and Wood County Airport (1GO). The Pancake Breakfast Fly-in was a kickoff event for the newly restored facility, and the 2003 flying season.
The Cafe 582 crew headed by Chris Keast served our first pancake breakfast at Toledo 582's new home. Cafe 582 has scheduled these Pancake Breakfast throughout the flying season. Look at CALENDAR for the dates. (John 27 April, 2003)

RIGHT,
Got a busted gimp. Actually, take note of the 1) Flying magazines to the
Left, 2) Aircraft style relief tube to the left of magazines. 3) Ice cream (in
yogart cup so we think its healthy) with about 1/2 of the total contents on the
pants, 4) TV Remote control. 5) Note the eyes, he's really checking his
eyelids for holes; Yah, Right.

The Awards Banquet 2003 will probably go down as the most successful Banquet to date. An extra effort was made by the organizers to make this an extra special occasion for the spouses of our members. From the comments overheard, they were successful in their endeavor. Over 80 people were in attendance, with good food, good companionship, and a good speaker.
Our gratitude goes out to all who helped make this event happen; Ron Smolinski, Lonnie Prince, Bill Hirzel, Randy Reihing, Nick Herman, John McAvoy, their better halves who did most of the work, and the others who names I will remember 30 milliseconds after I hit "Publish".
As always, a picture is worth a thousand words.

Toledo 582 Board of Directors meet for the first time in our new home, The Wood County Airport Terminal Building. From the Agenda that President Lonnie Prince laid out, it looks as if 582 has a very bright future.
Ron Smolinski has taken on the task of coordinating the clean up and preparation of the upstairs areas. We'll probably start moving equipment and materials when the weather warms up.
We've already scheduled several activities at the facility, these include several Pancake Breakfast type flyins. Chris Keast will be heading up that department (CAFE 582) Look at the CALENDAR for the schedule dates
The Board approved the use of the new official LOGO. This modern logo tells the story of Toledo 582. We'll start using it on our documents and newsletters.
Plane Fun Chairman John Mc Avoy briefly discussed the status of the Fly in. A budget has been submitted and will require member approval.
A Member Only area of the web site has been discussed and will be implemented in the near future. Access to this area will be for Toledo 582 members Only. (John 1/21/03)
Color
Photo Membership Badges will be issued as your photo becomes available (part of
the new database the chapter is implementing.) I like these for two
reasons, they help newcomers feel part of the chapter, and they also help me
(and newcomers) remember peoples names. I've also heard that if you show
Wally's this card, they will give you a free cup of coffee for only $1.25.

Chapter 582 will be transferring all of its database files to a new database during the next Membership Renewal cycle. The old database, maintained by Ron Sturgill has been around since the DOS days. First Choice was a very popular office integration program that dates back to the early 8086 days (1985 for you non computer types). Ron was forced to move some of the data to his new computer, but its been difficult.
In with the New - John McAvoy gave the Board of Director a preview of a Microsoft Access program that he purchased 10 years ago, and has since severely modified and updated. The program, runs under Access (you must have Microsoft Office or Microsoft Access already installed) and makes use of powerful, yet simple Windows menu structures to allow the operator to sort, display, and print the data set.
Some of the features include;
Integration of Member photos into the database, i.e. Not only will you get a membership roster, but each persons name will have a their photo. ( I love this feature, now I can connect the faces with the names)
Member lists that can be sorted by several keys, for instance, City or phone number - Who lives near you., Aircraft types - Who's building or owns what aircraft, And one of my favorite FIRST NAME - I love this one, I can always remember their first name, but can't seem to put a last name with it.
Membership Tools and Skills; What members possesses special tools, equipment, and skills, These are sort able and printable.
Member Name Badges, With Member picture, name, and Chapter LOGO
E-Mail addresses
Database of suppliers and vendors.
Sort and print a membership rosters PLUS, the Ability to print a handsomely bound Membership Booklet that contains many of the database sorts; A Really First Class Membership roster.
Some of the Database tools that the Chapter Administrators will love are;
Automatic printing of the EAA Annual report; i.e. Officers, committees, and members, All printed up and ready to drop in the mail.
Automatic printing of Renewal Notices that go out to members.
Sorted lists of Volunteers and committees
Sorted list of Chapter Assets (A BIG plus at Tax Time)
Easy administering of Mailing lists for Members, Guests, and those that receive a Gratis Newsletter. (Also can administer a Bulk Mail list, in case we ever decide to do that)
NOW THE PUNCH LINE! What's this going to cost the Chapter - NOTHING, The Database program is donated by John McAvoy. The only stipulation is, USE IT.
When you receive your Annual Renewal Notice (included with the newsletter) Take the time and fill it out. Don't forget to send in a nice photo. This information will then be entered into the database. Come March or April, New rosters will be printed that will incorporate the changes supplied by you.
PLEASE TAKE THE TIME AND DO IT RIGHT

To find Rocky Ridge Airfield: From Maumee and I-475, take the Anthony Wayne
Trail into Waterville. At the second traffic light turn right, or west. Go
up the hill and bear to the right. Follow St. Rte 64. When you cross the RR
tracks the Waterville Library will be on your right. A fire station is next
door. A half-mile further west is Foodtown and Rite Aid, also on your right
and a traffic light. Continue west, straight through the traffic light,
towards Whitehouse, Ohio. The first road on your left will be Noward Road.
Turn left. It only goes left. In 1/8 mile you will see the airfield and the
Rocky Ridge sign on your right. Turn right, into the second driveway on the
right side. Follow the drive around to the right and back toward the
hangar's. See you there! (Randy
