We really need to promote more flying and possibly enclose one hangar per year. Mike said we need help for the event on June 5 like cleanup, set-up, post-event cleanup, etc. It seems as though not even 40% does anything at the events ... it's the same 10-15 people every time; we need more participation before, during, and after events to keep our club going. We can't just rely on the same few to do all the work; we ALL need to pitch in and work at our club and club events. Mike read a list of planes that have registered so far; it's going to be great ... we just need members to get involved to keep our club going. So far, 15 planes have registered. Mike will give Karo a list of jobs where we need help so she can send out to the membership. Tim would like to see one of our antique planes give rides at our event.

Randy moved they be accepted as read with that the Fleet was a 1929. Dean seconded. Motion passed. OLD BUSINESS: 1. Treasurer's Report: We are in pretty good shape for this time of year. We have almost enough money in the bank to cover the buy out for the Barry’s since we got a new investor. All bills are current. 2. Dean and Mike reported on airplanes. The Chief is still at Bloomfield and we will take the Ercoupe as soon as it comes home. Also, N7717U has some issues that need addressed.

Mike brought up ideas for the Fly in we are planning for June 5 with a June 12 rain date for antique, experimental and classic airplanes. There was conversation about what to name it and whether we should charge for coming in. Consensus was that we should not charge. This is a new event and we have no idea what it will lead to or who it might attract. We will continue to work on ideas, concepts and a name for it.

I missed it. 2. Mike brought up concerns with the visual condition of the airport. There is just a lot of extra vehicles, an old appliance and other crap in the west hangar that looks terrible. We deferred this until we have our first in person board meeting in two weeks on April 7. We will plan to review the entire property and make a plan to make it look better. Randy moved we adjourn and Jim seconded. Vote taken, motion carried. Meeting adjourned at 7:30 PM. |
