Meeting Notes for February 2nd, 2011<\/p>\n
The meeting started at 6:00 with our normal BBQ hamburgers and hot
\ndogs, with \u00a0Melinda\u2019s famous chili! Also salad and chips and cookies.<\/p>\n
Meeting called to order at 7:00 PM by President Bill Dewey and
\nSec.\/Tres. Randy Stout also present. The 17 members and guests in
\nattendance then introduced themselves and gave a brief \u201cWhat exciting
\nthing happened this last month\u201d. \u00a0President Bill suggested we give a
\nquick \u201cfirst solo\u201d story to add to our introduction. To that end, he
\nbrought in his clipped T shirt from his first solo, which turns out to
\nbe 50 years ago this spring.<\/p>\n
John Stahr from Chapter 1457 offered to make up signs that say \u201cDon\u2019t
\ndrive on the grass\u201d. It turns out that someone did just that this
\nmonth, so we hope to get them as soon as possible.<\/p>\n
Several members had asked for \u201cCome visit us at Chapter 31\u201d stickers
\nfor the Sport Aviation and Vintage Aircraft magazines that they want
\nto put in various doctors and dentists offices. Randy brought and gave
\nout a good number again at this meeting.<\/p>\n
The next Chapter 31 breakfast will be held on Saturday, 19th of February.<\/p>\n
The Memorial Area plans are still progressing. \u00a0At the last meeting is
\nwas decided that Bill Dewey will contact his daughter who works at the
\nU of O architecture department, and his other daughter to help
\nengineer a bridge and see if we can get our concept sketch put
\ntogether to give to Shelly (and from there the City of Creswell). We
\nstill hope to have the final site chosen and a rough idea as to what
\nthe city of Creswell wants in the way of bridges (or hopefully just a
\nfilled in culvert) by the next meeting. A 6×6 beam bridge was a
\nsuggestion by Bills daughter. After submitting a plan, getting City
\napproval will be the next hurdle. Bill promises to keep the pressure
\non to find an engineer\/architecture student to help with this project.
\nHe did mention that a stipend is customary.<\/p>\n
Past President Ben is still working on getting a new computer to
\ndedicate to our projector project in order to watch TV and DVD\u2019s
\nwithout someone having to bring a laptop. Randy and Walt have
\npurchased paint and spackle in order to make the \u201cbig screen\u201d even
\nmore viewable. Ben mentioned that he would love to have a donated
\ncomputer under 5 years old with 1\/2 to 1 GB of memory. Past Pres. Dave
\nsaid he has a laptop that might work. Stay tuned!!<\/p>\n
Secretary Stout will bring a list of paid members to the meeting next
\nmonth. If you don\u2019t see your name, please see him with your $25 dues.<\/p>\n
Daniel Cathy was then complimented on his article that was just
\npublished on the EAA Chapter 31 website. He noted that Bruce and Glen
\nGrelle have a whole bunch of old Sport Aviation magazines and a nice
\n170 for sale. Call him if you want a library full or a new plane. He
\nalso mentioned that the OACAC group may fly in for breakfast and
\npossibly lunch before the Lake Chelan fly-in. Also the Stearman fly-in
\nshould have the Boeing 40 here again this year.<\/p>\n
Secretary Stout mentioned that the CG airport fuel island only
\ndispenses fuel on pump #2. Save yourself some trouble and start with
\nthat pump before trying to fuel up.<\/p>\n
The passing of Past President Dave Kenyon and FAA guy Jim Wright was
\nthen noted. May they both head into the sunset for a safe arrival.<\/p>\n
Charlie Walker has a RV-6 tail and many RV-6 jigs for sale. He is
\ngoing to finish Jim Wrights RV-9 and asked if any club members would
\nlike to help.<\/p>\n
We are still attempting to fill the vacant VP slot, and vote for a
\nSecretary and Treasurer. Please have nominees names ready at the next
\nmeeting. Also, please ask the so nominated person if they would
\nconsent to serve if elected in order to avoid any embarrassment if
\nthey have to decline in public.<\/p>\n
That concluded the business portion of the meeting.
\nThere being no new business, the meeting was adjourned at 8:22 PM .<\/p>\n
Respectfully submitted,<\/p>\n
Randall Stout
