Meeting Minutes October 19, 2013

EAA Chapter 1167

Old Business:

• The Ford Tri-Motor event was a great success. The turnout was better than for the average tour stop.

• Planning for the Fall Fly-in:

  • Our Fly-in is November 2^nd from about 8a to 2:30p

  • Larry and his cousin will be preparing the BBQ. We voted to authorize the pork purchases to have everything ready in time.

  • Deanna Scott has volunteered to make the potato salad and slaw for the Fly-in.

  • Doug volunteered to cook a chicken bog (perlo), pick up the backed beans, containers, and drinks from Sam's.

  • We'll cook the baked beans on the morning of event.

  • Post card mailers have been ordered

• Christmas party time already!

  • The plan is for December 8^th @ Mangos. Price to be $25 per person, payable at the Fly-in so that we can reserve and commit to the meeting room ahead of time.

New Business:

• The Tri-Motor visit was so much fun we can't wait to do it again.

  • We voted to request the team bring the airplane again next year (or as soon as practicle).

  • We also discussed inviting the B-17, maybe it can fit between years of the Tri-Motor visits.

• We discussed the inquiry by the Southeast Aviation Expo folks to establish an EAA booth for 2014 – we don't believe that our Chapter is able to participate but Larry Howell will contact EAA HQ for participation at that level.

• Recent changes in airport management means we have to start again seeking authorization to use the hanger room for our build projects.

Adjourned meeting.
