New members:  New member, Larry McLees, was unanimously approved and welcomed to the club.  Existing club members are encouraged to introduce themselves as soon as possible.

Old business:

.

• A motion was made and seconded to approve the minutes of the August 2, 2007 meeting.
• While everyone agreed that Tri-County’s participation in the Big Boy’s Toy Show was a success there was a general discussion as to how we could improve the show next year.  The following suggestions were considered:
  • Get all of the planes off of the ground
  • See if we can get AMA involvement
  • Consider having a group of Club members at the flying field so those interested could see a flying demo
  • Start earlier to see if we can get magazines or other giveaways
  • Consider having our fun fly the following Monday and inviting anyone at the show who is interested
  • Have a map to the flying field
  • Consider preparing bios for the planes similar to what Ed Gardner had for his planes
  • Consider having a voting for best in show
  • Consider a table that shows the accessories necessary to get started

All of these suggestions will be considered prior to the next show.

New Business:

• Neal McGrath reported that for the month August the Club had cash expenses of $28 related to the Big Boys Toy Show leaving a balance of $2,082 in the Club treasury.
• It was decided that we would get a new batch of hats to sell to club members.  John Solon agreed to get the hats.

Announcements: The Fire Tower Club is having a Fly-in on Saturday and a Warbirds fly-in the next Saturday.
