Discussed possibility of a presentation on Sailplanes, Gary Vacin has
some information related to this and will pass the information on to Elton
Dyal..
Al Galvi suggested trying to
get a speaker from the Refueling Group at Sky Harbor. Ray Schrecengost will furnish a contact for Al. Al also suggested getting the documentaries
of famous pilots on CD or VCR tapes for showing at our meetings.
Al also stated that Bernie
Peterson had given him a lead to possibly getting Chuck Sweeney, USN Ret. as
one of our future speakers. Chuck lives
in Oakwood and was on both of the B-29’s that dropped the atomic bombs on
Japan..
The Fly-in to San Diego to tour
the USS Midway Museum scheduled for May 5th was cancelled due to
adverse weather conditions and the back up flight was made to Palm Springs to
visit the Air Museum. 2 planes and 8
members participated. Details can be
viewed at Palm Springs
Fly-In Bill also is considering attempting another fly-in to tour the USS
Midway in the Fall. The Board also discussed a possible overnight trip to Moab,
Utah to tour the Canyonlands.
Provost Report: Gary Vacin, Provost
Ray Schrecengost suggested attendees at the regular monthly meetings be
recorded on the club roster. Gary Vacin
said he will follow up with Bernie Peterson.
New Business:
Al Galvi suggested rearranging the seating at the regular
monthly meetings so the audience in back can see the screen better when video
or slide show presentations are made.
Ray Schrecengost recommended moving the head table to the side instead
of being directly in front of the screen.
Al Galvi presented a motion aimed at attracting more
pilots to fly their planes on fly-ins. He moved, seconded by Elton Dyal
and unanimously approved, to hold a trial drawing for SLAC pilots who own
or rent planes and participate in the first fall fly-in. The drawing
would take place at the first SLAC meeting following the first fly-in and the
winning pilot would receive a cash award of $200. The funds would
come from the SLAC treasury. If this proves successful in
attracting additional fly-in pilots, the Board would consider raising the
dues for 2007 to $15
The Board appointed Bob Walch
to the position of Club Secretary to fill the vacancy created by the
resignation of Bob Earl. .
