Meeting Minutes from the 1/4/2023 meeting

Meeting Minutes from the 1/4/2023 meeting.

President Rod Johnson, V.P. Eric Farry and Secretary/ Treasurer Randy Stout as officers were present when the Meeting started at 7:02 PM at the clubhouse in Creswell. There were 15 Members in attendance.

Dinner was prepared by President Rod Johnson, Past President, Pat Dodson, and Bill Dewey and consisted of Lasagna, French bread, 2 leaf salads, Chips, Cookies, and a drink- for $8.00!! Next month we may be having another Costco Casserole, so watch your emails for notice.

President Rod Johnson called the meeting to order. He asked for any old business: It as noted that Rod spent a large amount of time taking down the Christmas decorations, and before this meeting, several people helped store them away until next year. Good work to all who helped!!

Secretary Stout noted that the club cleared a profit of $200 for 2022. That was immediately used to purchase the YE RC kit, so no real money gain. He then passed around the reconciled bank statement, Yearly EAA national application and YE report.

Gary Ludeke then rose to talk about the new YE RC model airplane that the club has purchased. It is his hope that we can advertise the project and interest some younger (or older?) folks into joining the group. It is his intention to join the AMA group and fly it when finished from Jasper Ridge or another landing strip nearby.

Remember our monthly breakfast on the 3^rd Saturday of the month. We need members to help make the fixings. Walt Weischedel is out of eggs so Bill Dewey will buy these and check on the rest of the supplies. The next breakfast will be on January 21st at the clubhouse starting at 9:00. Eggs, Bacon, Pancakes and Juice or Coffee for $8- a bargain!! See you there!!

The checkbook balance is now $1075.35, and dues are now due for 2023! Please bring them to the breakfast or next meeting ($25) or send them to:  EAA Chapter 31, 86277 Panorama Rd., Springfield, OR  97478

President Rod then asked the group for suggestions for the entertainment/instructional guests for the upcoming year. Several suggestions were made. Kyle Bushman, Stu Bar’s PBY, and Dan Greiner were put forward.  

There being no other business the meeting was adjourned by President Johnson at 8:02PM  

Respectfully submitted,

Randall Stout, Secretary/ Treasurer
