by-laws and rules passed, after much work by the officers to get it ready for
the members to discuss. Notable
changes were increase in dues for seniors, and a credit if you don’t receive
the newsletter by mail. Club picnic was a success, a lot of fun.
About 16 kids in the glider contests. Float fly – we have a caterer for Sunday, but not
Saturday. Several people
volunteered to cook and serve on Saturday.
Mark D. offered to donate a grill to the club. The PA system we’ve been using does not work
well. We will consider if the club
wants to buy our own PA system. Toys for Tots – The Merrimack Board of Selectmen
are holding a dedication of the Drobysh-Patterson field during the event.
WNDS TV is sponsoring us with public service announcements.
Mark V. will sell T-shirts at cost to anybody who works at the event. Mark gave us more information about the event.
The club authorized Mark to spend $100 for some prizes to give away. We have a neighbor at the field who has been
bothered by the noise. The officers
will discuss how to address this. Jim is collecting members’ radio frequencies for
his list. Jim asked for anyone
interested in float flying on the Merrimack river to let him know, and he’ll
arrange another float fly day. The meeting adjourned at 8:40, for some more plane building demonstration. |
