A little catching up is in order. I have been devoting most of my time to getting things organized, and it appears to be working! This is to announce a new AviationNation project at Grand Prairie Collegiate Institute, Texas, beginning this fall. GPCI is a charter school, only three years old, but really working to bring quality education to their students. It must be succeeding! They just competed in the Texas-wide SkillsUSA competition, and won several Gold Medals. Several teams and individuals are moving on to Nationals In Louisville.
About two weeks ago, the Principal and a teacher came and visited our project at Jennings County High School, North Vernon, Indiana (that is the school where I began the first Eagle's Nest Project) and watched the kids work. They decided our approach was what they were looking for, and we are partnering with them, starting this fall.
We will have more announcements in coming weeks. We hope to have our 501(c)(3) approval next week. We plan to have six projects building this fall, only one year after we began. As before, we put kids first, and all projects will be RV-12s. Visit our facebook page at https://www.facebook.com/groups/Aviation.Nation.Projects/ (Yes I know the name is screwed up, sorry, will fix it when I figure out how...) Also, if you would like to help us prepare for Oshkosh, visit http://aviationnation.causevox.com/ This is a just-launched campaign to help fund their trip to AirVenture. A few bucks could really help!
We are pretty busy getting projects up and running, but certainly can talk if you have the dream of helping kids succeed in life by learning the discipline of aircraft construction. Give me a call! (812) 701-5454.
