What it reported doing in 2025
1. Social gatherings for club members and their families (70 percent) Our club regularly holds meetings, social mixers, and group flying eventsintended to give our members a venue to come together and socialize. Our goal is to host at least 1 social events per year with events lastingtwo hours or more. Flying activities involve members gathering to fly our club airplane to various destinations for social purposes (e.g.. flyingcompetitions, group lunch/dinner, state park visits, etc.) In addition to the social activates listed above, our members routinely coordinate socialoutings that directly support the club's operation. During these outings, members meet at our hangar to clean aircraft, organize and stockfacilities, and help maintain club aircraft.2. Education and safety seminars for members (25 percent) Being comprised of pilots and individuals interested in general aviation, our clubprioritizes and promotes a culture of safety and regulatory compliance as a part of general operations - we do this through safety topics andeducation of members. 3.Philanthropy and community involvement (5percent). Our members use club aircraft to give back to the local community by volunteering theirtime, flight hours and club resources to help other organizations. Examples include assisting with the Experimental Aircraft Association's YoungEagle program and so on. In the future, the club intends to participate in other public benefit activities.Club members frequently invite friends and local youth to meetings, to educate people on the accessibility, affordability, social benefits and joyof flight within flying clubs.
