Please take the time to welcome our newest member: Dick Navarro. Welcome to the club, Dick; hope you enjoy many great flights with us... and an equal number of great landings!
This month's business included an announcement that SAM Club shirts and hats should be available by the July meeting, so bring a little extra $$ to the meeting next month to replace that old worn out SAM cap or shirt you've had for the last 10 years (grins).
Field upgrades and maintenance were also amongst the topics of
discussion at the meeting. First, the field has been sprayed with
herbicide to help control the weeds in time for monsoon
season. Secondly, a number of upgrades to the pit area were
suggested. Among them included 1) removing the rubber mats, 2)
blacktopping this area, at an estimated cost of $1700, and/or 3)
replacing the existing plastic fencing with a 2-foot-tall chain-link
fence at an estimated installed cost of $1000. Marv Kea
volunteered to determine the cost of materials alone should we
undertake one or more of these tasks ourselves. Thanks, Marv! This
subject was tabled pending further discussion. (over )
Finally, a motion was made to alter the quorum limit necessary to hold a general meeting. The new limit, passed unanimously, is that the meeting quorum shall consist of a simple majority of SAM members.
