June 2016 Meeting Minutes

June 2016's meeting began with the Pledge, Dave Doherty presiding.

We approved May minutes as written.

Don Doherty gave the Treasurer's report including checking and savings account balances. This includes last week's expense for fixing the air conditioner.

Jim Hall is visiting today, he lives in Town & Country and has been taking light sport lessons at St. Charles Flying Service and has previously brought his kids to our Young Eagles events. Bob Miller is getting back into aviation after a hiatus. He's a chapter 64 member and flies an RV-6. Bob also has an interest in STEM activities in relation to Young Eagles.

Rick May debriefed us on last weekend's Young Eagles event. We flew 33 kids and 9 parents with 6 pilots. YTD we've had 58 kids over 54 flights. Volunteer participation is way up. Our next event will take place in July. If you're a pilot Rick can give you your exact numbers.

The Spirits of Aviation LLC Flying Club is close to finishing the RV-12. Gale's going to check it over today as they approach time for final inspection. Dave Doherty's preparing to head to Wisconsin for transition training. The club has scored their custom number: N32YE.

We have 2 current fundraisers: food cards, see Ron Burnett. We're also collecting aluminum cans, so if you drink soda or beer bring in your empties.

Jon Thayer is our membership coordinator. See Bill Doherty for lock codes if you are a new member, or a current member who has lost or forgotten their number.

The Cavalier is still for sale, $500 obo. We almost had a buyer for the BD-4 but he has been unable to unload his Long-EZ project. He gave that up due to sensitivity to fiberglass.

Oshkosh is coming up soon. Traditionally the chapter has had a campsite, and would like to do so again. We had a show of hands and there appears to be plenty of interest. Mike Young has a room available at Day's Inn, contact Ron Wright if you're interested, details are also on the Yahoo Board. Chapter picture is usually taken at the chapter house with all our attendees.  Jeff suggests early evening as a time in consideration of volunteers. Dave proposes Thursday at 5:30 p.m. Since the chapter house is gone so the brown arch will be the new location.

This month's movie is Those Magnificent Men In Their Flying Machines.

Bob Kraemer's remembrance is today at Creve Couer airport's main hangar. A formation of Stearmans will do a flyover around 5:00.

Zenith is holding an open house in Mexico, Missouri today.
