Hello Fellow Builders and Enthusiasts!

If you haven't come to a Zenith banquet in the past, you won't want to miss this very special banquet! It's the Zenith Company's 25th anniversary! What an incredible celebration this is going to be! We are all part of one of the most incredible aviation families since Paul Poberezny started the movement in his basement over 50 years ago! So in 5 more weeks, we celebrate one of the most successful and ethical aviation companies in existence.

The banquet will once again be held at the Elks Lodge in Oshkosh. This beautiful facility served us well year after year. We have very comfortable seating for over 250 people, our own private bar, and award winning food. The banquet will be held on Thursday, July 27th, 2017. The bar will open at 5:30 and dinner starts at 7:30. Tickets are available for $20 per person at the door via cash or credit card. On the menu this year will be the Elks Lodge specialty, Pineapple Rum Glazed Ham and Broasted Chicken, buttered parsley potatoes, green beans, and all the trimmings! Lots of door prizes and 50/50 raffles! Once again this year there will be a very special surprise dessert so make sure you bring your camera!

The Elks Club uses the profits from the dinner for Scholarships, veterans programs, and other charitable events. So not only is this a celebration for us, it's a fund raising event for others. A perfect combination.

I have an information sheet with all the times and dates for the banquet, aircraft parking information, and all of the Zenith company forums during EAA. If you would like one, please send me an E-mail to backstagelive@gmail.com and I will attach one and forward it to you.

Have a safe trip to Oshkosh everyone!
