October 26, 2008 Minutes

The October 2008 meeting began with the pledge, Karsten Kessler presiding.
No visitor recognition this time, there were too many in attendance for the anniversary event.
Gary Kasten passed out envelopes containing the new six digit door lock codes to members in attendance. He notes that, when you enter your code, you should make sure you hear a beep with each number. The current code will work for another week or so. Be aware that the door locks automatically but you need to confirm that it has closed completely. The gas tank for our heater is refilled to the tune of approximately one thousand dollars.

Ron Burnett announced that he had a few food coupons available.

Karsten has new resolve for the water issue, having cleaned the toilet bowls. He also reminded us of the Christmas party and suggests sending formal invitations.

Steve Morse suggested that, following the rushed manner in which the office was moved up to the mezzanine, we should spend some time in November doing a good, organized job of moving everything back into place, maybe after the meeting in November.

November will also be a good chance to get the ARC decorated for Christmas, we’ll need volunteers for both.

For new business the idea of moving the regular meeting date was suggested, perhaps to the second Sunday of the month. In the interest of keeping the meeting short to make way for our speakers the motion was made and seconded to vote on this in November, the motion passed.

Next motion was to close the meeting, this passed and we went on to eat lunch prepared by Laurie of Kilroys. Special thanks to Dave McGougan for organizing this event, and to our speakers:
Bob Spooner, the first president of EAA32.
Gary Liming, our chapter historian.
Don Doherty, who spoke about his dad and an airplane he built, the SkyCoupe, the frame of which was on display for the meeting.
