NEW 2009 Great New England Air Show Economic Impact Report LETTER FROM THE PRESIDENT June, 2009
On Saturday, August 8th one of the major events supported by the
Galaxy Community Council is occurring at Westover. The 439th
Airlift Wing Picnic will be visited by approximately 2000 military personnel
and their families. Along with the Great New England Air Show, supporting
the annual Wing Picnic at Westover are major reasons for our existence as an
organization. Between now and July 29th, volunteers can sign
up to enable as many military personnel to enjoy a day at Westover ARB with
their families. Contact Amybeth Perry (abperry@websterbank.com)
to sign up. Spouses who wish to work at this event can also do so. You will
be able to learn about specific jobs and assignments at our July 1st
and July 29th meetings. Bud Shuback MEMBER OF THE MONTH Each month the Galaxy Community Council profiles one of its members. This month’s member is: Gordie Lauder - Gordie has been a member of the Galaxy Community for over 11 years. Gordie is a man with a great interest in aviation and aviation history, particularly the World War II period. Gordie spent his military service performing quality checks on Army H-34 Sikorsky helicopters in Stuttgart, Germany. In civilian life he continued with his aviation interests by building and flying award winning r/c model aircraft. Married for 36 years to the former JoAnn Glynn, he earned his keep with a 35 year career in commercial banking. Gordie is also very proud that he and his 5 brothers all served in the military. In fact, the oldest brother served with an Army Ranger unit that went ashore in the D-day invasion on Omaha Beach. Gordie joined the Galaxy at the suggestion of his friend, Ed Kopec and has high praise for the patriotic spirit displayed by the Galaxy members. It's people like Gordie Lauder that makes the Galaxy Council such a great organization. Thanks Gordie for your support. If you know a Galaxy member who you believe should be considered for “Member of the Month, contact Bud Shuback or Bill Sheehan.
