Old Business

  • January dinner: The January dinner was a success with approximately 50 attending.
  • Improvements to the field: Mention was made about having leaning posts for member when flying. Suggestion was for members to use the stools at the field to fly, if needed.

 

New Business:

  1. New Members/Guests: Hilton Bruch, Bruce Clough
  2. Safety Officer: The current Safety Officer, Tim Wojciechowski, will be moving from the local area and needs a replacement. President Wojciechowski appointed Art Brown as the new safety    officer.
  3. Solar Panels: Some of the solar panels need to be replaced. We will need to upgrade the solar system.
  4. Membership cards: Printing the membership cards each year is time consuming and difficult. We need to consider other options, including a card printer for ABS style cards.
  5. Show and Tell: Charlie Lambour had a scratch built scale model of a “sweet dreams” ultra light.

Motion to adjourn at 8 pm by Kathy White, seconded by Steve Wofsey. Motion carried.
