EAA\nChapter 31 Meeting, February 5th<\/sup>, 2020<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

The dinner portion of the meeting started early at 5:45 PM hosted by John\nKuehl with Pat Dodson and Rod Johnson helping. There were HUGE Hamburgers (c\/o\nBill Dewey), Hot Dogs, salad, chips, cookies for desert and a drink for only $8.\nDon\u2019t miss their next great meal!! Thanks Bill, Pat Rod and John for the great\nhelp and Rod and Pat for cooking!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The meeting started with the pledge of allegiance at 6:58 PM by President Pat\nDodson with V.P. Rod Johnson and Secretary\/ Treasurer Randy Stout also present.\nThe business and entertainment portion of the meeting was called then to order.\nThere were10 members and guests in attendance. The special guest of the night\nwas Shelly Humble, airport manager extraordinaire.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

 Checkbook balance was $3197.73 as of\nthe date of the meeting. He noted that dues are now due from all members- Send\n$25 directly to EAA Chapter 31- 86277 Panorama Rd. Springfield, OR  97478 if you can\u2019t make the next meeting. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Next Chapter breakfast is Saturday, February 15th. Come out to the clubhouse\nin the AM and pay $8 for an \u201call you can eat\u201d breakfast of eggs, bacon,\nsausage, pancakes, OJ, coffee and camaraderie!! Starts at 9:00 and runs to\nabout 10:30 or so. Our volunteers for this breakfast are (hopefully) the same\ngroup as last time Tom, Bill, Rod, Pat and John, who will coordinate getting\nthe breakfast ready to serve. Thanks in advance guys!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Shelly then gave a very informative talk about what\u2019s happening at the airport, which is a bunch! The taxiway project is still ongoing (and hoping to finish by March), she has sent in many grant requests and has received confirmation on a few of them. She is hoping to get a grant for 3 generators with tanks and will know by May if this will happen. She noted that Louis Lyons memorial service would be held at the chapter clubhouse this Saturday. (and as a side note, past member Dave Oswalt, Dick Fronzak and Larry Davis’ wife also passed this last month or so) She mentioned that they have hired a new maintenance guy, Joel Newall (Sp?) and that the Eugene Ham Radio club is looking for a home. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

She said that 3 people have expressed interest in building hangars on the\nlast lot available, but they need to get the bids and make a decision on a\nseptic system (possibly from Orenco in Sutherlin). The city will build a new\nset of hangars also on this last area available. They also will be installing a\nnew $17,000 credit card machine at the gas pumps, with the majority of it paid\nfor (hopefully) by the fuel supplier. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

She also reminded everyone that there is an AED and tourniquet in the office\nin case we need to use it. She suggested we just break a window to enter the\nbuilding if we have an emergency and the door is locked. She said that we can\nhave the fire department come down and train us in the use of both. Also, a dog\nhandler has asked for permission to use the clubhouse for training. John, Pat\nand Randy will meet with him before a decision will be made on this request.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

After a warm thank you for the talk, President Pat asked for volunteers to bring\nforth ideas for upcoming meeting programs. Gary Ludeke said that he will show\nthe progress on the new Zenith airplane that he is helping assemble in May.\nDave Eason will have his son talk about the Airforce in April. Several other\npeople have ideas but cannot put them together with a date at this time.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

After some consideration, a decision was made to replace the lights in the clubhouse\nwith LED bulbs. This is a bit more complicated than first thought because we\nare replacing HO bulbs and ballasts, which require replacing the end pieces on\nthe fixture also. More research will be done before we spend money on this, but\nthe budget is $350 to replace everything. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

John Kuehl still would like the club to pay part or all of the costs to send\nPat Dodson to the Leadership training class the EAA national does every year.\nPat will consider this before we proceed. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

It was noted that May is Flying Start month. Perhaps we can have our own\nDorothy Schick come and give a talk. We need to advertise this event in order\nto get more people involved.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Secretary Stout will contact Ben Hallert and get the Web Site administration\nchanged over to himself. Ben has been a great help for many years, but other\nobligation have taken him away from the club and he shouldn\u2019t be imposed upon\nfor the future. Thanks for everything you have done Ben!! <\/p>\n\n\n\n

There being no other new or old business, Past President John then showed the\nMonthly Chapter Video. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The meeting was then adjourned at 8:30PM
\nRespectfully submitted, <\/p>\n\n\n\n
