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.

Minutes of the previous meeting were read and approved. Gene Will gave a treasurer’s report. He reported that the donations and the bill from the airport were the same, therefore, the balance is the same as last month.

It was reported that Russ Hovey donated $150 toward the fuel bill for Young Eagles Day. Most of the Young Eagles came from St. Marys, New Bremen and New Knoxville. A total of 83 Young Eagles participated. Dick Murray told the group that he had received a nice thank you note. Thank you notes will be sent to those who donated above and beyond for the event. Thanks were given to all those who participated in the event this year.

Dick Murray asked our guest Dave, to briefly explain how they run the Young Eagles Day where he is member in Florida. He suggested to ask all the pilots you know to see if they would be interested in participating and how long they would be able to fly and how many can they take at a time. Take only a certain number of students. If more come, tell them that if there is time they might be able to fly after the prescribed number of students have flown. Bill it as a Young Eagle event , rides weather permitting. If the weather is bad, have DVD’s or videos shown. Have a bag of “freebies” ready to give to each young eagle. They have a Young Eagles Event often during the year. Encourage volunteers to help and perhaps start a mentor program.
