From Carlos Rangel: ``A proposal for paving the runway at our field has been received. The area to be paved will be approximately 328 feet long by 80 feet wide. The cost to accomplish this project to improve our club is $8500.
Our club is pursuing several avenues to raise the needed funds for the paving of the runway. One of these is a General Public Raffle fund-raiser. We are also contacting the AMA for their financial suport. Another action is a meeting to be held next week with the Fairgrounds Commission, when we are going to ask for their assistance in paving the field.
To proceed with this project, however, we need a general membership consensus. A majority of you must give us the 'go-ahead' to pave the field. If the above fund-raising avenues are partially successful, or do not succeed at all, would you be willing to make an investment of $150 to complete the paving? Note that the $150 is the maximum investment requested. This sum will be lowered according to the assistance we get from the Fairgrounds, the AMA, or the raffle fund-raisers.
Please send your ballot to the return address on this newsletter, or come to the March Club meeting to vote on this question in person:''
