Membership report As of Sept. 20, 2006 we have 144 members including 23 new and rejoined members.

Safety  We had two planes collide at the field last week, one was taking off and one was landing.  Both pilots announced  their intentions but the crashes still happened. Our Saftey Officer Jack Hostotler recommends that pilots should verbally acknowledge hearing announcements made by other pilots

Old Business   Ralph Savino has club license plates and tee shirts for sale.  The club is planning to put down two 18x22 slabs at the fields.  An estimate of $3,200.00 was received.  The solid waste facility director Gary Divo, informed us that we need to submit a detailed drawing of the slabs to his office for review.  Ted Mullins treated the weeds at the field with two gallons of weed killer.  He has advised that we may have to make another pass at the weeds soon.  There was some concern with the membership about killing the weeds under the flight tables, which will leave mud in its place.  A show of hands was asked for and the vote was 8 to 3 for not killing the weeds. 

New Business:  A motion was made to hold future meetings at the Triangle Boat Club in Tavares.  A motion made by Bill Beck and seconded by Ken Mullins.

50-50 Drawing:  President Tom Craig won the $10  50-50 raffle and donated it back to the club.
