There is a lot going on behind the scenes at your AAHS headquarters that does not get regular coverage. The
following provides a snapshot of activities during the last quarter. Don’t forget that there are opportunities for you to actively help further the objectives of the Society. Just contact Membership and volunteer.

Year end is rapidly approaching- and the holiday season. You might have seen your Fall JOURNAL come in the mail – it’s marvelous! As usual! I had opened my mailbox, enroute to an errand, and instead of running the errand I sat in the driveway and read the Journal. GREAT article by Ed Martin and others, and an unusual cover painting.

Do please welcome a new volunteer to the Flabob office, JULIE OPPEN. Julie is working on Book Connect with Charlie, and has the opportunity to come in during the week. THANK YOU, Julie, for helping us catalog our books and magazines.

The Veterans Day event at Flabob, Saturday the 12th was a success- with a couple thousand people attending, airplane rides all day, honor ceremonies for attending veterans and more. We had a booth, staffed by Charlie, Bianca and author Barbara Schultz, where we sold over $350 in books. THANK you to

Bianca and Charlie! We also met with the branch manager of the Riverside County library (not the city library, nearby) – and they offered to take duplicate books as well- huzzah! We’ll connect up with this County Library in the next few weeks.

A son of a longtime AAHS member, Tom Wilson (from Camarillo), came to Flabob this week and donated a rare BT-13 wooden prop and a Cessna Bobcat prop, as well as 20 model kits, still in plastic, as well as some books. We hope to sell these assets to support AAHS (and have his ok to do so).
