President Todd Bills called the meeting to order and asked that the May minutes be read. They were read and approved. There was no treasurer’s report. Last month the balance was $169.26.
Old Business: The Young Eagles Day was discussed. It was decided to try to have our Young Eagles Day in the fall, possibly September. We will attempt to get a newspaper article in The Daily Standard this time. Mike S. announced that next weekend he is planning to go to Goshen, IN to fly a few Young Eagles.
There was not any new business, however there was still plenty of hanger talk. Todd B. told the group that he flew with someone to Greenville, SC, picked up parts and then on to Appleby, IA where they were delivered to the John Deere plant. He also has been busy working on his airplane project with the engine being “dry built”. Dick M. announced that there was a new private pilot, and briefly told of her experiences of purchasing an aircraft. The conversation then went to discussing the pro and con of tig and gas welding.
The Explorer Scout group met today and Todd was going to take a few up for a ride. They will also try to go to Urbana Wednesday to see the Ford Tri-Motor.

We came, few showed, so we canceled.
The weather was miserable as Tom Fortman made it to the meeting in his jeep. The guest, Ann Vogel, brought seasonal treats, thank you very much. Walt Vogel told Dick Murray it took five members for a quorum so the four of us told lies for an hour before venturing home.
Todd Bills and Gene Will notified Walt they would not be there.
Dues are due and hopefully January will be an opportunity for Gene to collect $25 from each of us.
It has been a year since we last decided who would guide our merry band and had two more ventured out this Sunday we would have reached a decision today. One more item for January.
Have a Merry Christmas.
