OLD  BUSINESS:

1 Treasurer's Report:  Randy reported on our financial status.  We have a reasonable balance even though we bought a new mower (12-foot deck, caged Ransome like used on golf courses).

2. All airplanes are up and flying except the Ercoupe which is going to Bloomfield tomorrow for annual.

3. Chris got a good deal and is ordering three Skybeacons (for both 172s and the Arrow) which will satisfy the ADS-B requirement.  Good work, Chris!

4. Mark Eads said all ground school students are doing well.  Chad is a ground school student and said he’s on lesson four right now and has flown once.  Keep at it, Chad!

5. There will be a scholarship committee meeting immediately following tonight’s BOD meeting to visit with applicant Kaylah Hemphill.

6. Our booth at the Kites for Kids event in North Liberty Saturday wasn’t visited much but the “kiters” sure liked the balsa wood airplanes we passed out.  Suggestions for next year:  pass out flyers/handout brochures and have a banner at our booth to bring to visitors’ attention we’re there.  Dean volunteered to create a handout for future events.  Thanks, Dean!

7. We got rid of the broken pop machine in the office; Rick bought a new small one that works great, is very attractive, and doesn’t take up much room.  We emptied the machine that had super old bags of chips, etc. in it.  Karo will buy new junk food to replace the old, and Jim Beeghly will put a new light in it.

NEW BUSINESS:
 None.
Pretty much everyone moved with second by again pretty much everyone that we adjourn.  Vote taken; Motion carried. Meeting adjourned at 6:49 p.m.
