President’s Message

The LIEFC is in need of members who will serve on the Board of Directors. Please consider doing so. We are in need of candidates for all positions that can attend BOD meetings and take an active part in Club affairs. Board meetings are held approximately four times a year to make decisions regarding the Club’s welfare, or – when deemed necessary – a major topic must be discussed or acted upon.

Of course, compensation is very important. It consists of (1) satisfaction of contributing to the LIEFC and (2) knowing that neither money, goods, or other benefits are paid – not even a "dollar a year." The Long Island Early Fliers Club is a non-profit, all-volunteer organization, working to achieve its goal of preserving Long Island aviation history. The Club does pay for printing and postage of the Newsletter and announcements, insurance, and other necessary expenses relating to meetings.

Please contact Pat Gallagher (516-485-7969) or Sal Vitale (631-265-2791_ if you will serve as a member of the Board of Directors or as a committee member. Because of health, age, relocation, or other commitments, only a few of those presently listed as Board members are able to meet the obligations of the position. We need people who can attend Board meetings and assist with the operation of and decisions affecting the LIEFC so well as others who will perform various services such as serving on a committee, helping at picnics and meetings with refreshments and set-ups, taking inventory of the club’s artifacts, finding speakers or programs for meetings, writing articles, etc. The things are being done by just a few members, and HELP IS NEEDED.

A sign-up sheet will be at meetings where you can indicate what you would be willing to do and how you can be contacted. Your cooperation and assistance will be greatly appreciated.

Thank you,

Lt. Col. Anthony (Bob) Glaudino, President
