MEETING MINUTES FROM OCTOBER 7, 2025
The meeting was called to order by President Jeff Streit at 7:04pm
TEN members were present, no guests.
No corrections were offered for last month’s minutes. Jim Grant motioned to approve the minutes as read. Chris Mroch seconded and the vote carried.
Dan McLaren presented the financial report. Two hundred and eleven dollars was deposited for the swap meet as well as thirty seven dollars from the Poker Fun Fly. No expenses for the month. Tom DeVries made the motion to accept and seconded by Mike Murphy. Motion carried.
Jim Grant gave an update on the Poker Fun Fly. We had 11 flyers this year. Bob Irish took first place, followed by Tom DeVries in second and Chris Bohnin third.
Jim Grant gave an update on the Swap Shop. The flyer on Facebook had been updated and had all the correct info. Set up will start at 8:00am with the event scheduled to end at 1:00pm. Only 30 tables have been sold to date but a number of calls requesting information have been received. Dan McLaren charged with having seed dollars available for the cash boxes on Sunday morning.
Bob Irish reported that he replaced one tire on the big mower due to dry rot. Otherwise, everything is in good shape.
Mike Murphy’s safety report told about a pattern plane fly away that ended up in the top of a tree six miles away. The person who retrieved it was able to call the owner since the owner had placed his name and phone number on the inside of the canopy. Happy ending! Also, Mike reminded everyone to be sure to have a fire extinguisher in the workshop now that building season is upon us.
Chris Mroch reported that all systems are up and running. Chris is also working with Site 5 (our hosting source) trying to regain access to our mailing list. More to come.
Jim Herron reported that everything worked on the combat plane that was recovered from the corn. Just some delamination of the covering which he was going to reglue. In total there were four planes (or pieces there of) recovered from the corn!
