Thank you, Reno High Sierra Chapter, for hosting a very successful 2021 Spring SW Section Meeting.
At the spring section meeting, reports from all SW Section chapters were given. The chapters shared their experiences about adjusting to a year influenced by the covid-19 pandemic.

- Small Chapter award was given to San Gabriel Valley for painting an 80 ft. diameter compass rose last August in 105 degree heat over 2 Saturdays. Three other chapters, Fullerton, San Fernando Valley and Los Angeles, helped with the airmarking and will also receive a framed recognition award.
- Large Chapter award was given to Reno High Sierra for painting a 50 ft. compass rose at Quincy California Airport.
Air and Space Education:
- Small Chapter award was awarded to the Sutter Buttes Chapter.
