                                                 MEMBER OF THE MONTH

Each month the Galaxy Community Council profiles one of its members.  This month’s member is:

Frank Meckay – Frank Meckay has been a member of the Galaxy Community Council since 1999. A Chicopee native, Frank joined the Galaxy Council because, as he put it, “I always loved air shows and so I welcomed the opportunity to join the Galaxy Council and actually play a part in making the Westover air shows a success”.  Frank also stated he enjoys the camaraderie of the Galaxy people and being with people of like interests.  Since joining the Galaxy Council Frank has worked every air show and also was part of the group that helped welcome home troops returning from Operation Iraqi Freedom.  Frank is married to the former Regina Koranik and is retired from Monsanto/Solutia.  He started a second career as a representative of New England Financial and is also a part time employee in the transportation section at Westover. He also serves as an American Red Cross Disaster Team volunteer. Frank Meckay is another fine example of the type of member that makes the Galaxy Council such a great organization.  Thanks Frank 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.

 There will be a Board of Director’s meeting at 3:00 pm at the Wing Conference Room
