All Members Meeting
We know the where and the when but we need some topics for our next meeting. Please send us some things you’d like to talk about in our next meeting. It’ll be at Rail Hop’n Brewery on May 23rd at 3pm. We will be there around 2:30 setting up and you’re welcome to show up then too. There will be food and non-alcoholic drinks provided by us but if you want to purchase a drink from the proprietor, they will be there for that as well. This is our first off site meeting since covid started so it’ll be nice to get back to that. There will not be a Teams option this time though.
Upcoming Construction
There will be a lot of changes around the facility shortly, a lot that have to do with ensuring the building meets ADA requirements for accessibility. The parking lot will be repaved and some disabled parking spots will be added/moved. The other major change coming up is to change out the doors to the control room. To reduce noise and ensure the control room stays secure, they will be building a temporary wall with a door at the top of the ramp next to the OM desk prior to replacing the other doors.
Save The Date
We will be hosting a Solidarity event July 13th. It will be an Argosy Cruise along Lake Washington/Lake Union starting at 6:30 for 3 hours. Food and drinks will be provided. This event coincides with the NEB meeting in Seattle on July 13-14. In the pre-covid era, there has usually been a solidarity event for each area they go to. This is a great opportunity to be able to talk with the national leadership without having to travel to a class or other event out of town. Seattle Tower/TRACON, Boeing and Paine Towers will be there too. Children are definitely not excluded but there won't be really activities for them. Also, since July has a good probability of not being garbage weather, this would be a nice date night. This will be a blast!
