Minutes for the Meeting of December 2nd. , 2009

The meeting was called to order after 7:00 by President John Nedoba. 

The minutes from November meeting were read.

Roll call was taken. There were 9 members present. There were no guests.

The Treasurer’s report was read. We have only $912.18. Five members paid their $75 dues for 2010. We still have some members who have not paid their $35 fee for this past year. With the additional funds we will pay the lease for the 2009 season.

OLD BUSINESS:

Remember that we have reduced flying hours to allow the neighbors to hunt on the adjacent property. Flying will only be allowed on Wednesdays and Sundays. We are still waiting on a loader to get some free gravel to repair the potholes in the lane. We are still waiting on him to get a loader to load the stone. This may be falling thru.

John sent out an email to all asking for feedback on membership plans for 2010. He has only received 13 replies so far. If anyone hasn’t replied, please send John an email stating your intent for 2010. We need new members, so if you know of anyone who would like to join, let John know that as well. The more members we have, the cheaper it will be for each.

NEW BUSINESS:

Since we have not renewed our post office mail box, we need to remove the address from the website pages. We need to get some volunteers to help mow, dump trash, and other field maintenance items. One of the items that came up in discussion was that we needed some sort of a posted schedule so that people who volunteer do not drive all the way to the field to do their work, only to find that someone else did it. Dick is going to make up a schedule sheet so people can sign up.

Charles wanted everyone to know that they fly helicopters in the Bridgman Elementary school every Saturday. Please contact Charles for more information. He also told us that there is indoor flying at Clay High School in South Bend every other Saturday.

MODEL OF THE MONTH:

There was no model of the month.

 Meeting was adjourned.
