Membership report
We had 167 paid members in 2005. In 2004 we had 187 members, so we
dropped 20 members last year. The new frequency pins are quite thick so
turn them around backwards to store them in the holders to keep them
from putting too much strain on the plastic. If your dues were not paid
as of Jan. 15th you are not eligible to fly at the field.
Sweat shirts are available for $19 and are available in colors of Blue,
Grey and Tan. Henry Shultz is in the hospital for therapy.
Field Safety
Taxiing aircraft in the pit area is
forbidden Aircraft with engines running must be carried to flight line.
Old business
Flying for community service. The
Wildwood Cub Scout Pack 360 flying event was canceled due to rain. It
will be rescheduled for the end of January. Fruitland Park Cub Scouts
also contacted us and requested to fly bottle Rockets, which our club
turned down because of the no open flame rule we have at our field. We
have 30 Delta Darts left over from the Wildwood Cub Scout 360 event so
Pres Reeves invited them to come to the field and use them instead. The
road gravel we put on our access road seems to be working very well, the
road is not washing out during heavy rains. Thanks to Alex Ogilvie for
making all those connections to do this job. We have recently acquired
two new neighbors Rick Anderson and Mr. Mrs. Tyler they are building new
homes along our access road and they are R.C. aircraft friendly. Rick
Anderson foiled a robbery attempt at our field by alerting the Police.
Mr. Tyler spread the gravel and graded our access road, so Pres. Reeves
suggests we send him a gift certificate for $25 and a thank you note.
New Business
Election of officers for 2006 A
unanimous show of hands voted in favor of all incumbent Officers. All
club officers will be serving another term.
Pres. Reeves called for a show of hands
to accept a proposal to hold another flying demonstration for ten
Fruitland Park Cub Scout flyers the members voted unanimously to accept
the proposal. A time will be selected in Feb.
Safety Officer
Our club is currently in need of a safety officer at the field. Anyone
interested please call Pres. Reeves
Fire Ant Patrol
Fire Ants are becoming a problem at the field. One member had an
allergic reaction to Fire Ant bites. We need a volunteer to spread FIRE
Ant insecticide around the field. Anyone willing please contact Pres.
Reeves.
OPEN DISCUSSION:
Ralph Savino suggested that we schedule
this years Swap Meet in Jan. to possibly increase the number of people
attending In 2005 we only had 78 paid attendants…If you bring trash with
you to the field, take it home with you, someone has to do something
with it BE THAT SOMEONE! Also if you see a full trash bag take it
over to the waste facility. If the situation doesn’t improve shortly
