The club bank balance is now $4788.94. The Fly-in on October 29th netted $295.88. (We sold about 85 plates and made $79 from the 50/50 raffle.)
Other business:
- Pat Connell reported on the results of the November 2nd, volunteer Scholarship Committee meeting. [See attached minutes.] They redesigned the scholarship application so that the age limits were removed and so that scholarships could be given to pilots to reimburse them for costs to obtain additional ratings, etc. For this calendar year, they recommended setting aside $1000. In January, the Board of Directors can elect to change that amount for 2017.
- Motion made and passed to create a formal Scholarship Committee with initial members: Pat & Jim Connell, Debby Beach.
- Discussed the potential donation from Vince Ruano and the Ryan Ruano Foundation.
- The Board of Directors agreed to meet by 11/14 to review the Scholarship Committee’s recommendation.
Next Fly-in – The membership agreed to host a Breakfast Fly-in on January 28th at the Flynns’ hangar. Steve Flynn volunteered to manage the volunteers that day. The FOOLZ website needs some updates.
