Old Business
Mike Murphy – Safety Message – be sure your batteries are in storage mode for winter. Batteries Plus still disposes of old batteries. Salt water is not a good idea to kill Li Po batteries. Take them down to below one volt and then kill them…
Jim Grant – Swap Shop 2019 – the swap meet raffle plane has been purchased. It is a Horizon E-Flite 51.5 inch Cherokee that has gotten a number of good reviews in the hobby magazines the last few months. It should be a good raffle…
Jim Herron – Maintenance Comments – mower back in the shed and the field is buttoned up for the winter.
Dan McLaren – Dues are due! $75 again this year. Renewal form attached to meeting reminder email. So far, through January 30, I have only twenty renewals. Time to get those forms filled out and checks written!
New Business
Phil Shea – vandalism report – the sheriff talked with the kid and I would suspect that we will have no additional issues with this guy…
George Orphan – promotional video follow up – more to come.
