Dear NESA Members,
Our Club Constitution calls for General Meetings to be held monthly during the flying season, from April through October. At the Annual Meeting we agreed the meetings would take place on the last Saturday of the month.
The restrictions imposed on public assemblies beginning in March have, until now, kept us from holding monthly meetings. With the recent changes to Vermont’s Covid directives, we will be able to hold this month’s meeting on it’s scheduled date, Saturday, August 29th, at Susan and Larry’s (formerly Walter’s) hangar next to TWY A. I’ll fire up the grills around 5 pm, you bring your favorite grilling item for a BYO BBQ.
We must comply with State requirements:

• NESA must have your VOSHA Covid training certificate on file. If you haven’t already done so, you can complete the training at VOSHA TRAINING
• Temperature will be recorded when members arrive, and members must affirm no recent health issues, contact with potential carriers, or travel to or from higher affected regions as detailed on the current permitted and quarantine required travel map: VT Cross-border Permitted & quarantine restrictions map.
• Masks to be worn if 6′ social distancing can’t be maintained outdoors, masks are required indoors.

This is a Bring-Your-Own event. Unfortunately we won’t be supplying beverages, condiments, plates, etc., and access to the terminal building is limited to one person at a time. I am not certain we have permission to use the folding metal chairs we’ve used in the past, so you may want to bring a lawn chair.

This is a first step towards getting the social aspects of NESA back in gear. There have been several excellent soaring days, and club instructors are available, by using the club scheduler on the flynesa.com website.

I hope you’ll be able to join us, Saturday

Larry
