Treasurers Report:

• Reviewed by Treasurer Dave VerHoef

• As of today we have $3,850.77 in the checkbook.
• $345.98 revenues from Combat Events. The majority of this is because of the outstanding efforts of John Russcher.  His personal efforts to plan, organize, and execute this fun event were above and beyond the TCAF call to duty.  THANK YOU JOHN!
• 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 events such as Come and Fly, and Combat Competitions and any other events when observers are present.
