January Newsletter:
It's hard to believe
that 2006 is already here and we have had our first club
meeting of the year. We had good attendance and so good
ideas for the coming year. One of the ideas was to sell
the club trainer and put the money from the sale into
the club treasury. The trainer and radio was donated to
the club by several members. The plan was to use it for
new members until they got their own airplane. Over the
past year we haven't used it one time as all of the new
members had their own airplane. I don't think we set a
price on the trainer yet. It was a good idea at the
time, but I think the time has come to part company with
the trainer.
As you will see in the minutes below we formed two
committees at the meeting. One is working on a "mall
show" for the coming year and the second committee is
planning several fun fly's at the field. If you have any
suggestions on either contact one of the committee
members and I'm sure that they will appreciate your
input.
The question came up at the meeting on expenses the club
had for the past year. Jim has been giving a checking
balance at the meeting and reporting it in the minutes,
but this doesn't show where the money is going. At the
next meeting we will have a cash flow sheet for the
club. I will help Jim put the information on an Excel
spreadsheet which can be updated monthly.
I am going to Florida this coming Sunday and will be gone
for six weeks. This means that I will miss the February
meeting. In my absence John Mall will handle the
February meeting. I will have my computer and cell phone
with me so I will be able to keep in contact. I think
that this going to be a great year for the club. Already
this year we have three new members. Make them feel
welcome (which I know you will) and give them all the
help they want.
Below are the minutes for the January meeting as submitted
by Jim Hauck.
If I don't see you at the field this week I will see you
when I get back the first of March.
SEE YOU AT THE FIELD

Dear Member,
Our first club meeting of the new year was held at the
Anderson
County airport on Thursday, January 5, 2006. Several
important
items were discussed. A Fun Fly calendar committee was
formed with John
Solon, Eric Walker and Ed Stewart. They will assign dates
for club
activities for the coming year. The prospect of having a
Mall show
was also discussed. Norm Armbrust, Ken Whitfield and Neal
McGrath
will contact the folks at the Mall to set up a tentative
date.
Starting times for our club meetings at the airport have
been changed.
The club meetings will now start at 6:00 PM rather that
6:30 PM.
This will allow us to have longer meetings without
infringing on the
departure times of the airport employees.
We are fortunate to have welcomed three new members. Mr.
Bud
Farmer, Mr. Tom Mashey and Mrs. Jane Mashey have joined
our
group. Please make them feel welcome and assist them
anyway we can.
Our club checking account as of January 6th is $1326.81.
Respectfully submitted,
Jim Hauck |
