January 2005 Monthly Newsletter

Members Present:

Paul Verger, Jeff Mawry, Duane Gonzales, Charlie Hafford, Larry Hinkel, Joe Krebs, Billy Krebs, Dale Taylor

Treasurers Report:

Approx $3575.00 in the bank. 

Old Business:

1)     Discussed new pilot stations.

2)     The county set the new 6x6 post.  It was discussed to either wait on our personnel to build the bay extensions or go ahead with the contract price that was quoted to us.  It was decided to go with the contract price and get it finished.  As of 1/10/05, the bays were complete and now the tin is all that is needed.

3)     The next fly-in has been scheduled; it will be May 7th 2005.  If anyone needs flyers for this event just e-mail me at koastair@aol.com and let me know.

New Business

1)   The Perry, GA swap meet is scheduled for March 5th and 6th 2005.  There are several of us that have talked about going.  We would leave on a Friday morning (about a 6 hour drive) and return the following Saturday night.  There are a lot of hotels in the area.  My Dad and I went last year and we stayed at a nice hotel about a mile from the fairgrounds for about $50.00.  It is worth the trip just to see this swap meet.  If you’re interested in going, e-mail me at koastair@aol.com or give me a call @228-326-5142.    

 Meeting adjourned at 2:30 pm

Notes:

1)   A reminder that the next club meeting is going to be Sunday, February 6th 2005, 2 pm at Ludlow Field.  All members are encouraged to come out and let your voice be heard.

Just a note to all club members:

The spring and summer are approaching quickly as you know.  That means longer days and a lot more flying time.  But your help is needed.  I am as guilty as anyone else, but it seems like the same people do all of the cutting and edging at the field all of the time.  Lets get together and help out as much as possible.
