April 23, 2006 Meeting Minutes

The April meeting began at 2:00 with the Pledge of Allegiance. Despite the beautiful weather and the start of the barbecuing season, the meeting was quite sparsely attended.

President Karsten led off with a vote on the proposed bylaw changes that were published in the March newsletter and discussed at that meeting. The changes were accepted.

Laura Million announced her web page workshop coming up in May. If anybody is interested in learning how to do a web page, contact her for details.

Dave McGoogan updated the B-17 information. He had a supply of posters and flyers for people to post in businesses and their workplaces.

The Young Eagle rally on Saturday April 22 was a great success, with about 80 kids flown. George thanked all who participated. A huge Young Eagle rally is coming up in Washington (Missouri) on May 13. The folks out there have been publicizing it heavily, so please participate if you possibly can.

This month's visitors were recognized.

Jim Hann gave the treasurer's report.

Ron Burnett had some extra food coupons for sale, and he announced that Gary Kasten is helping him with food coupon sales. The food coupon fundraiser is a great deal, because everybody has to buy food. The chapter gets 4% of sales from the coupons, so you can help the chapter without any expense to yourselves.

The meeting was adjourned for a welding presentation and demonstration by representatives from Lincoln Electric.
