Up, Up, and Away:
Christine Mortine passed her COMM SEL add on early March and is scheduled for her CFI check ride by mid-May. She was able to fly a C310 to Fargo, MN in addition to her training. : )

Meredith Frederick flew friends and family home to Cincinnati for Easter, in addition to visiting eight other airports across Ohio.

Marjorie Anderson flew commercial to South Carolina for a visit with her parents.

Jann flew to IL for two different weeks of babysitting. On her return this last time she stopped at the Carbondale Airport which is a stop on the Air Race Classic.

Mary flew to Columbiana County Airport - her first “commercial” flight. She dropped 49 ½ Kevin and his co-worker off for a business trip. She also had her first emergency landing. While in the pattern at Bolton in a Super Cub, a throttle cable problem would not allow a power reduction. The mixture needed to be pulled out on final so the airplane could land!

• Nominating Committee:
  •  Paula Rumbaugh will have the slate together soon – she is waiting to find out the status of one of the members. Ballots will be emailed and new officers will be decided at the May meeting.

Old Business:

• Several members will be attending the Spring Section Meeting in Columbus April 23-26. We will be selling mugs and aprons at the Fly Market. It was decided that we do not need to furnish reports to the section chairperson because we did not participate in any of the activities this past year that require reports.

New Business:

• No new business.

Announcements:

• Christine is a FAASTEAM representative and would be happy to help with any safety issues.
• The Doolittle Reunion will be held at the Dayton Air Force Museum on April 17-18. Five of the remaining raiders are expected to attend as well as up to 25 B-25s. The bombers will be staging at Urbana-Grimes airport and will begin arriving there on April 15th. They will fly in formation to Dayton on Saturday morning. See the Urbana-Grimes website or the Dayton Air Force Museum websites for more information.
• Christine would like to organize a flying trip to Urbana to see the museum. This in turn prompted Paula to suggest that perhaps Christine would like to be the activities person for the group.
• Marjorie announced that Ray Copeland was awarded the George Putnam Award. The award recognizes non 99s for their contribution to the 99s through their support. Ray will receive his award at the International meeting in Hawaii. Congratulations Ray!!
• Meredith has offered to help us make our airplanes for the Doo-Dah parade. Her basement is outfitted with power tools and supplies. If you would like to take Meredith up on her offer she can be reached by telephone.
