At the Last Meeting...

September 7th's short general meeting at the field was attended by 20 members. Carlos Rangel reported an August closing balance of $2555.55. Final plans for the (successful!) Night Fly were discussed. The club reaffirmed its interest in an internal ``Club Picnic'' to be held sometime later this fall. Franc reported that the ``All Clubs Picnic'' at the TIMPA airfield is tentatively scheduled for November 1st. The general plan at this point is to have a fly-in for members of all Tucson clubs at TIMPA, followed by a pot-luck lunch and swap meet. Stay tuned!

Marv Kea made the suggestion that we replace the painted tires lining the parking lot with horizontally-laid TEP power poles (which can be made available to us). This suggestion is being considered; transport of the long poles is widely considered to be the biggest obstacle. Marv is overseeing getting pre-emergent herbicide on the field this fall to maintain the runway edges (part of the ongoing War on Weeds).

Bob Leichtenberg drew attention to the Cottonwood Float Fly on September 20-21. Chances are good that Cottonwood participants will tell us about this traditional float-flying pilgrimage at the October meeting!
