Speaking of which, it’s that time of year again, please do your best to take it easy on the road if you go flying.
Presidents Corner – March 2010
Meeting was called to order on time, one guest, my chauffer as I am still recovering from some minor surgery.
Once again, many thanks to the Osborn’s for putting on a great winter banquet. It was nice to meet & talk with our District 7 VP Bill Oberdieck & his wife Joany. We have our event calendar filled in for the year. June is a busy month! We did our best not to conflict with other events in the area so we can attend some that we otherwise would have missed.
We are going to have a couple of low key "fun flys" this year, once again run by Dan Osborn. I almost have my replacement plane done after the last fun fly. (My fault)
We are looking into ways to reduce our field maintenance cost,s as Dan McLaren has pointed out, it is our biggest expense. Any new ideas would be welcomed.
We had a birthday at the meeting, Robert Williams. His actual age was a matter of discussion begun by Ed Fowler. I believe we settled on 71.
Happy Birthday Bob!
It’s been kinda mild out there lately, lots of flying still going on by the "Winter Crew". Wheels, skis or floats are working well at this time, so get your stuff out there!
Keep Your Wings Level,
Mark Schmaltz
Presidents Corner – February 2010
We had a nice turnout this month of 20 members & no guests.
Dan McLaren gave a very concise treasurer’s report, I feel he is going to be a great secretary/treasurer.
Remember that Roz Osborn is again organizing a club dinner at Brann’s on the 30th. See the event calendar for details. Last year was a hoot!
Presidents Corner – January 2010
We had a great turnout for this month’s meeting, with standing room only.
We elected our new officers, and even convinced Bernie Despres to serve as social director with several members volunteering to help him out. It was also agreed to set out a donation can for food at the Memorial and Veterans fly in's.
