SAFETY:
Mike Kern was not present to give a report. To the
best knowledge from the members, there were not
any issues that came to mind.
COMMITTEES:
ALES: Dave mentioned that all of the requirements
have been met. All of the volunteers have been
identified for the food, drinks, timers and event
helpers.
Sunshade: Carl mentioned that the last meetings
report was the last and there was nothing else to
report. There was an open discussion on how the
remaining money should be spent. Most of the
members seemed to be happy/ok with the first
table/bench. A vote ended in 22 favors and 1
opposed resulting in the purchase of two more
tables/benches. Trash cans was also discussed and
Kevin offered to put 2 out at no cost to the club. A
vote ended in 18 in favor and 2 opposing.
OLD BUSINESS:
Chief Aircraft’s 3-D event is on for November 15 &
16. They are expecting 40-50 pilots with a few
spending the night. Joe Lippo has arranged to have
a barbeque vendor present at the event.
NEW BUSINESS:
A secret ballot was held for the following: The Gray
Family, Michael Gray, Gene Schepers and Leo
McCarthy. The voting results all ended with them as
permanent members to the club. Welcome aboard!!
Steve Braxton reminded the club members that
nominees for club officers will be taken from the floor
at the November meeting and voted on at the
December meeting. The positions are President,
Vice President, Treasurer, Secretary and Safety
Coordinator. Appointed officers are the Field
Marshall and Newsletter Editor.
A reminder went out that it’s that time of the year to
renew you’re AMA membership and not to let it
lapse.
We have reached our club membership cap per our
by-laws. The club is not able to take any further
members until vacancies become open. This brought
up a lot of discussion amongst the club. The final
outcome was a motion by Dave Milliong and a
second by Shawn to amend the by-laws thus lifting
the cap. After a vote of 18 in favor and 7 opposed, it
was settled and that the amendment process will
begin. Steve Braxton is going to draft the changes
and when ready, they will be sent out to the club
members for review.
OPEN DISCUSSION:
Harry brought up a change to move the start of the
meeting back to 09:00AM. He placed a motion
without any further action.
Carl Schneider made a suggestion in regards to
placing a shed at the field to store the mower and
some items of lesser valve. After some stories from
the past with this, it was in the best interest of the
club to not to do this and continue to use the security
and shelter provided by the Parkers.
The next meeting is scheduled for Saturday,
November 8th, 2014 at 10:00AM.
CLOSE:
A motion to adjourn was made by Toni Orsini
and seconded by Dave Milliong. The meeting
was adjourned at 11:10AM.
The 50/50 raffle was won by Mike aka “Electric Mike”
