New Business:

  • Chuck and Pam Leucht bought drinks and supplies for the operations building. Since the vending machine is gone they will not be buying snacks any more.
  • Stephens' Aztec status — The attorney has taken no action on this aircraft. Dick Gurley motioned to budget more money towards a suit; Chuck Leucht seconded. All but one voted in favor, but after further debate the action was tabled.
  • Training program — No changes since last month, but the operation will be a separate not-for-profit flght school, set up by an attorney. The club has some prospective candidates for the board but no selection has been made at this time. No CFI candidates have been identified; the club members are asked to start looking for someone.
