NEW BUSINESS:
1. Guest Angela McConville, representing the City of North Liberty, informed us of a Kites for Kids parent/child bonding event on April 13 at the Liberty High School from noon until 2:00. Angela invited us to set up a booth or table with information on Green Castle that we can hand out. All in attendance thought it would be a great way to promote our club. Angela’s organization will hand out paper kites and will have fruit for children and coffee and hot chocolate for adults.

2. Don asked for a volunteer (firefighter Brian Rohr) to climb the tower and remove the
tattered American flag. We’ll replace it in the spring; we’ll redirect the light at that time.

3. We will dedicate the beautiful rooms up at the office that Rick built in honor of CFII and airport manager Terry Koehn in April (date and time TBD). We’re thinking on have a little lunch at the dedication service.

4. Rick announced that Shawn Rhinehart is the “temporary president” of the EAA chapter
here at Green Castle that is being formed.

5. Mike Mango mentioned he got a letter from EAA that mentioned that since this is the 50th year at Oshkosh, they will resurrect a P-26 (Peashooter) and have invited other like aircraft back. They’re saving room on the flightline for the Stits Playboy.
