OLD BUSINESS

Dirt moving party, Greg thanked everyone who showed up on September 29 that helped 
spread the dirt out in the duck pond. We had a good turn out and Josh supplied a dump 
truck and bobcat with a mechanical rake for the rocks. Unfortunately, a hydraulic line 
was run over and we had to rake it the old fashioned way. Thanks to Wayne, the FD 
sprayed water on it.
_______________

Fun fly on the 28th of October was announced again, Mike Crum is going to run the fly.
_______________

As read in the minutes we need a volunteer for the treasurer position.
_______________

Dave Parkinson will do one more newsletter and get a mailing out for the vote on the 
quorum at next meeting.
_______________

We are again having trouble with the lock at the front gate, someone keeps taking it. So 
we are going to change the combo and get a heftier chain. Lock should be locked through 
the county lock and then we can tell if it is a club member or if someone is cutting the 
chain link and taking it. Rodney will supply a heavier chain and a new lock and combo 
will be put on.
_______________

More safety concerns were brought up with a member. Greg talked to the member and 
expressed our concerns to him and thought everything was getting on track. Wayne gave 
some new documentation tonight to Greg about a couple of serious incidents with this 
member, and some inconsiderate actions. We need other people who observe this 
member to turn in reports also; more than one person is needed so this member gets due 
process.




NEW BUSINESS

Art made a proposal for next years TOC for the raffle plane after several suggestions it 
was decided on an 81” Lancair. This was voted on and approved unanimously.
_______________

Art also made a proposal that can help the club make some money and also benefit 
himself. He has a great looking SELDOM flown P-51 hanging in the hobby shop for sale. 
He made a suggestion that the club raffle off the plane for $5/ticket and limit the sale of 
tickets to 500. This way we can give him the $1500 he is selling the plane for and the 
club will make $1000. Art would not take payment until all tickets are sold and the plane 
is ready to give away. Plane would be raffled when all tickets are sold.
_______________

 Art volunteered to do invoices for the renewal of club dues. New member Dave Ort told 
him that if they could get together he could print and supply postage for the mailing. Art 
agreed to get together with him.
_______________

It was mentioned that since we start meetings at 6:30 when at the flying field, maybe we 
could start them at Hobby Towne at the same time instead of 7:30. after discussion it was 
decided on to start meetings at hobby town at 7PM and at the field still at 6:30PM. Voted 
on and passed.
_______________

Sale of items with the club logo was brought up again to find out where it stands. Greg 
stated that Jason was working on that and should be ready this week.

Show and Tell

Ed Goldberg brought in his new electric larger scale P-51 mustang with retracts. This is a 
3-31/2 pound plane and really looks sharp. Look for it at the field late summer 2008. Ed 
is moving up in size with his planes now.

Meeting was adjourned at 8:30 PM
