New Business:

In February of this year Dennis suggested that by November of 2011 the Chapter officially leave the Green Sea building entirely and cut the extreme expenses involved with that building. Dennis brought up the possibility of a liability issue associated with our continued connection with the Green Sea building and suggests this as another reason to leave Green Sea. Finally, another reason for us to leave is that there are two or three Chapter members that could benefit from the Chapter leaving at no harm to the Chapter. At some point in the future, the Chapter may be able to get some funding for a official Chapter building/hangar from the County or other government agency.
Duane suggests that the Chapter could even leave the Chapter tools and other items at the old Green Sea building under the personal control of the three Chapter members that wish to take over the building from the Shaws. The Chapter will thus be totally removed from Green Sea with no obligations of any sorts.
Ron suggested that we wait until next meeting to make this vote.
Dennis suggested that we need a Newsletter Editor. There were no volunteers at this meeting.
Bill mentioned that our BBQ fly-in will come here to Conway and we need to plan for it now. As a note, the Shaws would like the breakfast club fly-in to remain at Green Sea.
Some people think that the Conway airport is too close to MYR Class C airspace but it's not and we need to make it clear to everyone that Conway airport is a Class D, non-towered airport that is light sport and ultralight friendly, paved, and has fuel and other assets.
Doug Floyd briefed the Chapter members on upcoming Civil Air Patrol events that are planned and Young Eagles Program possibilities.
Dan Drost's name was brought up as a Chapter contact for the Young Eagles Program.
Contact information for all Chapter members is available on the Chapter website. The location and login information is:
http://eaa1167.org/members_area/memberlist/ The login name is 'eaa1167' and the password is 'eaa11672010' (everything in lower case).
Bill wants volunteers for Vice President that can be at the meetings, and for Dennis as Secretary and Webmaster.
As a reminder, the next fly-in will be the first Saturday in November, this year that's 5 November 2011.
There were many other items brought up for discussion in a informal way that is impossible to categorize here - see the audio file on the website.

Wayne suggested that we start planning for how to cook at our next fly-in now that they are at Conway.
