At the Last Meeting...

After cold and rainy weather on Saturday, December 5th, the hopes for having a meeting on December 6th seemed dismal - however the morning turned out clear, albeit chilly and a bit windy. This didn't stop 10 members from showing up at the field, although we were short of the 15-member quorum to officially hold a meeting. While watching Rick, Jerry, and Marv fly (later joined by Bear and a host of others who showed up after 10 AM), we informally discussed plans to clear the periphery of the field from weeds. The field has been remarkably low-maintenance this year due to the pre-emergence herbicide applied last year. Carlos Rangel reported that the AMA has mailed us a query for information concerning their new ``site'' insurance (which presumably would cover damages to the field due to theft, vandalism, and presumably any other property damage). Further information has been requested and the issue will be presented at a future meeting once the specifics are clarified. Carlos will also be ordering EAA calendars for 1999. It's expected that the cost will be $10 as it was for the 1998 calendars (which I hear we're selling really cheaply right now...). These are beautiful calendars, so be sure to get one next year when they arrive!

Remember that SAM 1999 dues are $35 and will be due by the end of January. You will need to show your 1999 AMA membership card (make sure you've sent in your renewal; they're kinda slow in Muncie this time of year). At the January meeting we will decide on 1999 officers, so please take the time to be there!
