Elliot & Melanie Abel have created a Forum as a result of our "Ideas" meeting.
This is going to be a much needed tool for our members to introduce themselves. It includes the option to create a profile which can include your picture allowing members to get to know you, as well as a great sharable calendar to list flying events and social gatherings via google.
A Forum is also included for us to communicate and enjoy.
Our current website (www.EAA83.org) is still operational.
I encourage all members to access and create a profile, add a picture of yourself and tell us something about you, what you fly or your interest in aviation to get started. Tell us your hobbies or anything you feel comfortable sharing.
