The new OSUAAS Blog has begun

Welcome to the first post of the new Ohio State University Aviation Alumni Society (OSUAAS) Blog.

The main reason to start the Blog is to allow others to find their way to the Society. This is not intended to be the main communication portal for our group. But we will occasionally put tantalizing bits of information up in the Blog to entice you to join if you are a qualified applicant to the OSUAAS.

The OSUAAS's main mission is this:
Promoting Ohio State University Aviation
and
Alumni networking,
through the interaction of
the Alumni, Students and Faculty.
If you would like to join us, it is best to goto our web based communication tool at BigTent.com Located at:


Please, come and join our group of 135+ members online (162 as of 5/10/08) at the BigTent.com site. If you are not a member already and are interested in joining and are related to OSU Aviation, goto the link above and send a request to join us. Within a few days you will get a response back via email.

There is a tool in the right hand column of this webpage called "
Find other OSU Pilots on FAA Database" to help you track down your pilot friends that you have not seen for decades possibly.

You won't get their email but you can get their mailing address to enable you to print out this page and send it via snail mail to encourage them to join the OSUAAS.

Any suggestions on how to reach the over 40 crowd, that isn't comfortable with online social networks, please let us know.

The only way to spread the word about the OSUAAS is to... get this... spread the word!

Thanks for your help. I would ask that everyone tries to inform at least 2 people they know who are interested in the OSUAAS.

If you know of anyone who doesn't have a computer but would like to participate with the group, either send me an email with their information through the Bigtent/OSUAAS website, or send it to me and the officers will follow up:

Steve Teffenhardt
PO Box 4
Ottawa OH 45875

Just because someone is not computer savy is no reason to keep them from participating with the OSUAAS.

Very Best,
