"Chris Fravel, Drone Geek Productions" - Zoom & In Person Mtg
How aerial imaging benefits business & industry.
Chris Fravel will mostly emphasize how aerial imaging benefits various industry verticals, the projected outlook for drone use in the coming years, and the importance of only hiring and contracting Part 107 UAV pilots for aerial imaging. Fravel is the Founder and President of Drone Geek Productions, an aerial imaging firm located in Lancaster, Pennsylvania. Chris has over 4 years of unmanned piloting experience, logging over 2,500 hours of flight time during that span.
A native of North Central Pennsylvania, Fravel has lived in the Keystone State his entire life, but enjoys exploring as much of the world as his feet and his wallet will allow. Passion, professionalism, and persistence are the three P's Fravel lives his life by and on which he has built the foundation of his business. Drone Geek Productions offers a variety of aerial imaging services ranging from multimedia production to mapping/rendering to structure inspection and everything in between. Chris has been living in the Lancaster area for over 3 years now and has come to truly appreciate what it means to be a Lancastarian -- investing in one's community and supporting your neighbor.
The speakers from Chamber were Tom Baldridge, Sarah Maser and Vanessa Philbert.

Tribute to Harold Keller, Auctioneer for the Straw”burry” Auction
Many thanks to the friends and family of Harold Keller who ran in the 5K run this past Saturday at Wheels and Wings.
Harold passed away this year and these friends and family were running to honor his memory.
Harold Keller was Rotary Club of Lancaster’s dear friend who was the auctioneer for over 50 years for the Straw”burry” Auction.
Harold was the auctioneer for many benefit auctions throughout the southeast PA area. His favorite was held each June for Lancaster 4-H, where he auctioned off 4-H strawberries for fifty-four years. Harold had a way of having our members “volunteer their money” to support the 4H group. The highest bid for a quart of strawberries in those fifty-four years was $600.00. Harold will be sorely missed and we thank him for his many years of selling “burries”.
