Meeting called to order:

Secretary’s Report:

Treasurers Report:

As of today we have $3,736.80 in the checkbook of which $3,450.75 is for club use. The remaining money is from the TAG Grant and must be used for that.
We have spent $213.95 of the $500 TAG Grant for the Come and Fly events.
I need to know if anyone thinks we need to keep the old gas grill, otherwise I will get rid of it.
So far we have made $235.98 from the combat flying.
Prior to October, I must submit the non-profit annual report at a cost of $20. The next big expense is mowing which will come in December. It looks like we should be in the black for this year.

Safety Report/Field Maintenance:

NOTES FROM SAFETY OFFICER John Russcher:
Concerns were noted about the safety of guests and observers during evens suck as Come and Fly, and Combat Competitions and any other events when observers are present. The specific concern is how to keep people safe if a pilot loses control of a plane and the plane flies past the safety line towards observers.
- The decision was made to have someone designated at these events to brief all attending about the possible hazards associated with RC Flying and how attention to the current event activities is important to everyone’s safety
- In addition this particular concern shall remain an active safety issue and all ideas to improve our safety in this particular area are very, very welcome.
