MISSOURI PILOTS ASSOCIATION
Monthly Board Meetings
are on the second Sunday of the month
at Columbia Airport at 1 PM.
Invitations have been sent to all our legislators and the State Aviation gift will be delivered to each and every legislator early the morning of State Aviation Day. We encourage you to call your representative and senator and make an appointment to visit with them and, at the same time, issue a personal invitation to have lunch with you. We will try to expedite them through the line this year, although we know that will be difficult. The buffet luncheon will be served from 11:30 a.m. to 1:30 p.m. in the southwest alcove on the 3rd floor of the Capitol Rotunda.
Once you arrive at the Capitol, please check in at our registration desk located in the southwest alcove of the 3rd floor Rotunda. There you will pick up your red, white and blue name tag. (The name tags made quite an impression last year walking through the halls of the Capitol and we hope to see many more this year.)
In an effort to include our sponsors in the planning of this event, we held a planning session early in March. A status report was sent to the aviation community as a result of that meeting.
There has been a significant amount of activity that has occurred on a number of statewide aviation bills over just the last 2 ½ weeks. Because it is very important for us all to have the latest information when we meet with our legislators, Steve Stockham, Chairman of the State Aviation Advisory Committee, has compiled this updated list of Legislative Initiatives which is attached. Please consider these when you are meeting with your legislators. Additional copies will be available when you check-in and are also on www.mopilots.org.
Those of you who have done this before know that it can be a mad house. While this location leaves something to be desired, it is still the best spot for this event. We have had more interaction with our legislators at this venue than any other spot we have tried.
Jefferson City Flying Service has been most accommodating in the past for those flying into this event, and has said they will be providing transportation to the Capitol again this year .
You may be asking "Why do we do this?" Because it works! Do you need to visit with your legislators? Yes, we all do! We need to make that connection. Our legislators need to know how each one of these bills would affect aviation in the state - either negatively or positively.
We look forward to seeing you Tuesday, March 27th. We are ALL working together in support of aviation in our great state.
