Up, Up, and Away

Marjorie Anderson flew commercial to Cocoa Beach, FL – nice break prior to near Blizzard ’08.

Constance Copeland and Ray flew to Fort Wayne, Indiana for lunch. Great trip & good visibility.

Treasurer’s Report:  We raised $82.00 with the raffle of Charma’s Amelia Earhart picture. Please pay your dues of $12.00.

Report of Standing Committees: 

• Airmarking:
  Jo-Ann Prater asked Mark Mulcahey of the Columbus Regional Port Authority if we could paint a compass rose at Bolton Field. He said there may be a problem with rebar under the ramp surface so he will look into it and get back to her. Jo-Ann will also check to see if Madison County Airport needs a compass rose.
• Scholarship:
  Myra presented Dawn with her Alice Jackson scholarship.
  Carol Countiss would like to offer a scholarship in her husband’s name. The scholarship would be women to get their private pilot certificate.

Old Business:  

• Casa Trip:
  Jo-Ann suggested we go to La Casa September 19-21 because it is the same weekend as the Cimarron Short Grass Music Festival. The festival takes place at the Cold Beer bar and involves classical music, folk music and cowboy jazz. The house will cost about $600 for the weekend. Jo-Ann would need to know who will be going 3-4 weeks in advance.

New Business:

• Chapter 30th Anniversary:

• Fund-Raising opportunity:
  Charma learned of a fund-raising opportunity offered by City Barbeque. When we dine at City Barbeque we will be reimbursed 25% of our food bill. There is a minimum of 25 people and it can be done once per quarter. Charma will turn in the application then we can decide on a date to meet for dinner.

Respectfully submitted,
