Click Here Steve makes copies of the original newsletter artwork. 
Our kids group does the collating,  folding, stapling, labeling and stamping required to send the newsletters for both EAA Chapter 350 and IAC Chapter 61.  The kids learned about what a newsletter is, operating a copy machine, using preprinted labels, using a stamp dispenser,  and about how many stamps are required to send a letter to a foreign country (Gordon Phillips, an IAC Member in Wolgast East Germany).  This is where the business part comes in with the Y-I-BET program.  The kids look forward to putting the newsletter together and enjoying each others friendly interaction during its assembly.

The copy machine is located in the basement of Roger Smith's house.  Every time we go there, we get to see Roger Smith's Airplane Shop and the Pitts Aerobatic Biplane that is being modified there.  This is an association reinforcement with airplanes in Steve's mind.  The more times that Steve sees an aircraft or any other type of machine shop, the stronger Steve's ties are to the aviation and technological fields.   The chances that Steve becomes involved in aviation and engineering are greatly increased, increasing the number educated  technically inclined entry level workers to America's workforce.
We work with all of the other kids in this type of association link process too.
