Kidventure area. Be sure to participate in this program so you can participate
in the 2016 FCARC EAA Special Event Station, July 27 thru 31 2016.

(January 21, 2016) - As EAA approaches the 25th anniversary of EAA’s Young Eagles program, we can celebrate the success it has been for nearly 2 million young

flight experience a positive, memorable one.

The next FCARC General Membership meeting will be on December 21 at the UW-Fox Valley in Menasha. The meeting will start at 7:00 PM in room 1346. The FCARC will be taking nominations for the 2015 Ham of the Year and voting on to sponsor a 2016 Hamfest. Following the meeting will be the Christmas Party, please bring a dish to pass.

January 30, 2016 will be the first VE test of the new year. It will also be the first exam held at our new testing location.

After many years holding the exams at the Red Cross building In Appleton we had to look for a new location when they decided to close the Appleton office and sell the building. Donna, KC9THF, was able to get us a room at FVTC. FVTC is located near
Interstate 41 and Northland Ave.(county highway OO).

It is with great sadness that I pass along the news of the passing of KC9VLL (Janet Ulrich)

Jim, Susie, and Rachel are current club members our deepest sympathy and prayers go out to them especially this time of year.
