Mike called the meeting to order at 1:57PM

Jon reported he left the Young Eagle forms in the office and they haven't been sent in yet. No definite number could be ascertained.

Thank yous were sent to Ralph  and Gary for flying and Russ Hovey for his generous donation of fuel.

There were a number of people who were adult and wanted rides. Aparentkly the advertising did not make this clear.

We are earning credits giving Young Eagle rides and using them for the academy at Oshkosh. The WACO museum wants to use our credits if we aren't using them. We are going to wait and see.

Ken handed out paperwork for the WWI fly-in. Discussion followed.

WACO fly-in is two weeks before the WWI fly-in.

Mike went to AOIH to do some grass landings and there was an X on the grass.

Neil wanted to go to OSH and is looking for someone to go. They wanted to do three days. His travel partner has started chemo treatment and is doubtful he will make the trip.

Mike's WACO returned the day after Young Eagles.

Todd is going to check out in Mike's Cherokee 180.

EAA wants to start some type of interactive roster tool. The E-news had an excellent article about tying down aircraft.

Ken invited everyone to stop out and look at his plane which is all painted and ready to be assembled.

Todd took his daughter to the Dayton Airshow and really liked the Blue Angles and the Fat Albert demonstration.

Bungee Park had the large scale models flying yesterday at the RC club. Gene mentioned an F4U Corsair was particularly appealing.

Mike mentioned the Armstrong Air and Space Museum would also like to have the space camp participants be given air rides in August.

Mike mentioned there is a flight program for adults the EAA is sponsoring.

Neil moved and Todd seconded to adjourn the meeting. Motion Carried
