The Board approved the reports.

Old Business:

The Board discussed each officer's duties. The Board decided to have each officer write their duties, as they are currently performing them, for the May meeting. Further discussion regarding each officer's duties will determine if the current wording in the By Law articles are to be revised or retained. Revise the By Laws, as required, at the October Meeting.

New Business:

Al Galvi made a motion to add Article 1.03 to further define the purpose of the SLAC. Perhaps a restructure of the existing articles 1.01 and 1.03 is in order. Motion approved.

Al also made a motion to title the initial minutes of meetings as "Draft" until they are reviewed and approved by the Board at the next meeting. Motion approved.

Al also inquired about offering incentives to non-member pilots who participate in Flynn’s. The Board authorized a year's free membership to non-member pilots during the March Meeting.

Tom Malthaner agreed to give a presentation on military facts of World War II during the October General Meeting. He will need assistance regarding scanning pictures and showing photos.

The next Board meeting will be on May 15, 2007.
