President Allen Knecht's Message - Sept/Oct 2026
Last month our Chapter lost a charter member and who was the first president of 310, Tim Armentrout. Many of you probably knew him and as is the custom of this Chapter he will be honored with a memorial brick on Memorial Day. I am writing this report on 9/11, 2026, the 25th anniversary of that most horrific day. Let us never forget the sacrifices made on that day. This year was my second Pig Roast which I have attended. I would like to sincerely thank and congratulate all who participated in making this a successful event. Your hard work paid off! There was unfortunately a decline in tickets sold. I am already thinking about how to increase sales for next year. I am noting individuals to send invites to and organizations to send the flyer to. You might also want to consider taking note through-out the year of individual for targeting invites and flyers to for next summer Lastly I would like to address the change made to the monthly Chapter meetings. The changes being from 6:00pm for board meeting and 7:00 pm for Chapter to 12:00pm and 1:00 pm (aka 1200 hrs and 1300 hrs) respectively. Some of you might consider this not only an inconvenience but an hardship. These changes need to be considered as necessary SAFETY changes. Seniors driving at night and especially in foul weather can be dangerous. As time marches on we are not getting any younger even though we live in the Ann Arbor area where UM has recently made a break-through in time travel. Unfortunately so far it is of little help, since you can only go back in- time for “1 Second. “ See you-all at the breakfast groups.
