Order EAA Chapter 44 Apparel With New Logo EAA 44 President Norm Isler has placed our initial order for EAA Chapter 44 branded apparel based on those who ordered them prior to July 24th. The initial order was placed at special negotiated discount prices based on a group order. The new EAA 44 logo will be EMBROIDERED in Red and Blue (with a White outline around the "44" inside the Blue and between the wings) on all apparel you order. The background will be the color of what ever apparel you order. Many color options are available. Contact Norm after he returns from Oshkosh (after August 1st) if you have specific questions after looking at the brochure. Norm can be reached at 585-638-8098. All prices (subject to change) included shipping, so there are were no "add ons" to increase costs. Hopefully the first batch of EAA Chapter 44 branded apparel will be available at our August 17th meeting. CLICK HERE to view the apparel brochure and order form. These four prototype examples that Norm had made up will be at our July 20th meeting for you to examine. Click on each example to see larger image.
The RV-12 visit has been rescheduled for October 8th and 9th with the 10th as a rain date. Additional details will be added to this web page before our August general meeting.
