At the Last Meeting...

Content thanks to Secretary Howard Brown

June's 4th general club meeting was called to order by President Jerry Knebel at 9:10 AM, with 20 members present. Treasurer Carlos Rangel reported a current balance of $2765.43. Last month's May Fly was a great success - there were 17 participants and many more spectators! When the dust finally settled, the club netted $145.73 from the event. Many thanks to all who attended and assisted with the organization. I understand President Jerry cooked breakfast to start the May Fly; I know that was quite a treat! Thanks Jerry! A motion was made, seconded, and passed to make the first Sunday in May the permanent annual date of the May Fly. So mark your 2001 calendars now! :)

In new business, we will be adding new wheelchair rams to replace those block by the new ramada enclosure. If you haven't visited the field recently, the ramada area is now fully enclosed - with a very polished frequency pin board and transmitter storage area. ( Editor's note: Those who volunteered their time to make this happen ought to be recognized in the Newsletter - so please nominate your deserving peers... these efforts are greatly appreciated!) We have had a large influx of new members into the club during the last few months - this month we welcome Bill Hemple Sr., Jerry Kikkert and Richard Doty. Ron King was also introduced as a long time, returning member. Welcome (back) to the club, guys - may your landings be soft and equal in number to your takeoffs. And as always, watch out for the puckerbrush. :) And as usual, for new or old members alike, By Laws are available from Carlos Rangel.

A work party was scheduled for Sunday June 13th at 7 AM. A number of improvements to the ramada enclosure were made. The discussion then turned to the issue of how to involve more members in the work parties and general operation of the club and field. Incentives for working were raised, as were penalties for not working. In the end, the resolution was tabled, although a motion to have a $50 ``door''-like prize for work party participants was made and passed. Mike Sungaard is the the chairman for the work party, you can contact him for further details.

In keeping with our policy of maintaining good relations with our neighbors and surroundings, we are investigating volunteering our time with the Adopt a Highway program. In the meantime, we will take the time to keep the adjacent stretch of Dawn road clear of refuse. Please help do your part!

The motion to adjourn was made and passed at 9:40 AM. Flying then resumed on what turned out to be a very hot but calm morning for RC activities.
