March 2009
March 14th was the annual fly-in and meeting. About 12 members were in attendance with some spouses and guests. The day was overcast and somewhat cool but it was a good day of flying.
During the meeting, officers were elected as follows President: Tad McWhorter, Vice-President: Benny Bridges, Treasurer: Ken Hall, Secretary: Scott Boyd, Web Editor: Scott Boyd. Safety Officers were eliminated since everyone wanted to share the responsibility of safety.
Current funds were about $413 and the budget is set around $1400 for the year. Edwin is scheduled to mow the flying field weekly for $50 (a $10 savings weekly over last year's cost with Sheppard's), Edwin will also roll the field to help reduce bumps. Dues were set at $50 this year, over $500 was collected in dues. Dues should be paid by April 3rd, 2009. Contact Ken Hall to pay dues.
Website issues were discussed. Everyone is satisfied with the current arrangement since the only cost is the $35 domain registration fee.
Special projects included: Changing to a Frequency Board and having a fire extinguisher and first aid kit available on the field at all times.
Next years meeting will be held in Ken's barn AND some wives have volunteered to do some cooking. |
