September 2015 Meeting Minutes

September's meeting began with the Pledge, Dave Doherty presiding.

Don gave the Treasurer's Report, including checking and savings balances.

Chuck Gorman is now a member. He's been around as president of the new flying club.

Rick May was absent so Dave gave the numbers for last week's Young Eagles' event. We ended up flying 38 eagles and 9 adults, thanks to 5 pilots and 21 ground assistants.

Bob Murray has done some research on our water heater project. He's concluded that an on-demand heater would be a good solution.

Jeff and the membership committee will be auditing to make sure all new members for 2015 have information packets and door codes.

Ron Burnett has food coupons.

October 3 will be a work party for ARC improvements. We'll install the water heater if we have it. We'll paint the flag pole base and building trim. The garage door could use some paint as well. For 2016 we'd like to paint "EAA32" on the roof and paint the interior metalwork brown. The airport will be sealing asphalt.

Troy chapter 1387 will have a Young Eagles event on October 3 at H19.

The flying club is making impressive progress on the RV-12 project. Gale has inspected and approved the work so far. There are six equity members, about the max for insurance purposes, though all are welcome to work on the project. We've got one possible paint scheme but may
have a contest for more options. The group has gotten 32YE as the registration number.

Dave got a call from a representative of the NHRA, they're looking for some planes to do a flyover in conjunction with the National Anthem. 9/17 at 10:58 a.m. Let Dave know if you'd like to participate.

Zenith Aircraft fly-in is today until 2:00 p.m. CAF Hangar Dance is tonight.

October 17, our next meeting, will be elections for treasurer and vice president. Currently Don and Bill Doherty are the only nominees.

The Aviation Business group will hold their annual trivia night, also on October 17.

Next Young Eagles, our last of the year, will be held October 10.

Our upcoming movie will be Island In the Sky, September 26, starting at 6:00 p.m.
