Announcements: For those who may not know, flying at Don’s farm ended May 1, 2008 .

Our club charter has been renewed.

Old Business: Tractor repair will run about $600.00 or so.

New Business: Pulaski Parks & Recreation Dept will let us put up a non-permanent structure to house the tractor. Some estimates for materials and design of the structure will be forthcoming.

Several ideas were floated for making money due to the repair of the tractor and perhaps a building for the tractor. The most popular idea was a 50/50 cash raffle.

Steve Albert and Doug Slate will handle getting tickets and selecting a date. More to come on this a a little later. Dues increases were also mentioned.

A Fun Fly Event for the early fall seemed to be favorable to everyone present. Area clubs would be invited, and perhaps that might be a good time to pick the winner of the raffle.

A suggestion was made to review the members of our Board of Directors since that has not been done for a while. Everyone thought that was a good idea.

Next Meeting: Watch for an email from Randy, but should be August 21, 2008
