            Money collected to date.

                        Discuss funding from our treasury   There was a lively discussion over

whether the club should donate and how much.  There was a vote and the majority approved the amount of $200 from the general fund.

                        To date we are $145.00 short after all current pledges are received.

                        Of the funds collected to date, $1,400.00 has been distributed to Bear Town

            Status of commitment

            Art work for Bear

Hopefully an artist who has worked on other Bears will be available to add to the DISCUSSION as to what we can expect.

A committee was formed to meet with the artist and design the theme for the bear.  It includes Bill , Virginia , and Terry.  There were great ideas discussed. Different versions of our logo were suggested.

Everyone expressed their appreciation to Grady for all his hard work.

Consider that Aviator Day would be a good time to unveil our Bear.  Jason (theartist’s husband) advised that the bear would probably not be ready in April which is when we usually have it.  There was some discussion about changing the date to coincide with anniversary activities

Time permitting; we can start discussing what we want Aviator Day to include.

A good bit of time was spent discussing Aviator’s day.  It was lively and full of suggestions.  There were some brave volunteers who made their commitment:

            Young Eagles:           Jay F

            Wings Program:        Bill C.

            Liaison to other Chapters:    Hunter S.

            Food:  Brad & Kem

There were suggestions: to have a flight simulator set up for people to try

                                                To have the A & P program set up a static display

 Members expressed interest in getting more tangible support for Aviator’s Day from the Airport, the FBO, and the flight school. Bill stated that the board members would be working on that.

Members were reminded that producing any kind of event, and whether we can make it public or not depends on the NUMBER OF VOLUNTEERS that we have to make it happen.  At the present the number of volunteers that usually show up at events is not sufficient to produce a bigger EWN day than we have so far.

 A motion was made that every member commits to bring one new member into the club this year or pay the club the $24.  The motion was passed by a majority of members.

 Respectfully submitted,  

            Terry Deeb, VP
