Still Christmas Shopping? Christmas is now just a few days away. I know there are some of you that have reached a point where you’re wondering where to get that final gift to round things out. Or you may be like me and a practiced procrastinator when it comes to Christmas Shopping. In either case there are some items in the CHPA online store, http://www.chpa-us.org/mc/page.do?sitePageId=70598&orgId=chpa, that could well be exactly what you’re looking for. The long sleeve shirts are available in black or khaki and we anticipate, once warmer weather returns, having the oxford shirts available in short sleeve as well. Both color shirts have the CHPA logo on the left chest area and feature a shirt pocket and button down collars. We have a great selection of all sizes available now. The jackets are available only in black and are from Charles River apparel. The jacket is light weight with a nylon lining and water resistant microfiber shell and a generous storm flap over the zipper to keep the wind out. Again, we have a great supply of sizes ranging from small to 3XL on hand. Shop now and you’ll have your items in time for Christmas.
A Call to Service Hey You!! Yeah, you! Are you a pilot member in good standing? Have you been a member of CHPA for at least three years, not necessarily consecutively? Do you have a small amount of spare time to devote to promoting the legacy and preserving the history of the combat helicopter pilot and crew? If so, I have an opportunity for you. There are currently a couple of vacant seats on the CHPA Board of Directors. The requirements are easy, there is only one teleconference meeting each month, the phone call is free and right now the schedule is the second Sunday in each month. So give consideration to actively supporting your organization by serving on the Board of Directors. If you have any questions give our HQ a call at 800•832•5144 or drop them an email at hq@chpaus.org. Information on the requirements is available in the by-laws available online at the CHPA website. We look forward to hearing from you soon. 4
