about the recent activity by those accessing the Club’s web site and discussed
some of the problems he has been encountering.

recent Fly-In to the
In Elton Dyal’s absence, Dick
reported that Art Akers would present the program on March 15 and Greg
Chenoweth is scheduled for the April meeting.
Al Galvi reported that he and
Elton enjoyed speaking at the Women’s Connection Club. They said they were double booked with
another speaker who is a retired airline captain who was very entertaining and
knowledgeable. They solicited him for a
program at one of our future meetings.
Under New Business a motion
made by Bob Earl did not receive a second and died on the table; no action was
taken.
Under New Business the Board
agreed that the Activities Officer should distribute the Activities Accounting
Worksheets from each Fly-In to the Treasurer for archiving and to other
appropriate individuals, such as the pilots.
Dick reported that Ray
Schrecengost has resigned as Treasurer because of health issues. Dick nominated Bernie Peterson to fill the
vacancy as Treasurer and asked for nominations from other Board members. No other nominations were provided and the
Board elected Bernie Peterson as the Treasurer. Bernie also holds the office of Provost, but Dick will be
soliciting the membership to take the Provost office. Bernie offered his support and assistance to aid the new
Provost. The Board is saddened that Ray
decided to leave the Board, but the Board desires that Ray should concentrate
on maintaining a healthy body.
Dick recognized Vern Nelson
who said he wanted to be relieved of his position on the Board, but he offered
to continue to administer the SLAC Web Site.
His resignation was accepted and his offer to continue administering the
web site was gladly accepted. It was
decided that Vern will continue to administer the web site and the office of
Web Manager will be left vacant until further advised. Dick will be looking for another member to
fill a position on the Board as Member at Large in order to maintain the
required number of officers.
The Board recognizes this as
a time of transition. Losing Ray and
Vern is a significant loss to our Club.
They are pioneers of our organization and the loss of their energy and
influence in club matters will result in a significant void. It is time for others to step up to provide
guidance and leadership. The
alternative will not be good.
Dick closed the meeting at
10:55 AM.
Respectfully Submitted,
Robert Earl, Secretary
