Chapter 79 in Spokane always asks if we have any guests or new members at start of every meeting. I am not sure what you were expecting on your first visit but I second what Hangar10 said. You need to be a little more involved and demonstrate you have a sincere interest. If you are around often and help the next thing you know you might be riding in the B-17 the next time it shows up. I know many of our newer members have. After you have been there a while and folks get to know you, perhaps you might consider running for a Chapter president to make some meaningful changes.
