Up, Up, and Away

Janie and Woody have flown to Urbana and Neil Armstrong Airport several times this past month.

Paula Rumbaugh and Amy Yersavich went on their annual flying/play watching/shopping/eating trip to Stratford Canada the first weekend of August. Weather was wonderful! No IFR filing flying to or from Stratford - that is a first for Amy and Paula in their annual Canadian travels!

Jann and George flew to Nemacolin Woodland Resort (PA88) in Pennsylvania for a couples weekend. Then they packed up their camping equipment and flew to EAA Airventure in Oshkosh for four days. Way to go Jann and George!!

Paula Hook and Lori Robishaw flew commercial to the International 99s Conference in Anchorage, Alaska. We hope they will both return in time for the September Chapter meeting!

Meeting Minutes

The meeting was called to order by Jann Bowne.

Attendance: Jo-Ann Prater, Charma Huddy, Gail Dean, Marilynn Miller, Amy Yersavich, Jann Bowne, Constance Copeland, Ann Egan, Joan Mace, Mary Biller, Paula Hook, Janie McIntire.

Minutes of Previous Meeting: Janie McIntire made a correction to the minutes under old business and noted that the Delaware EAA pancake breakfast was scheduled for August 23, not August 16. She moved to accept the meeting minutes as amended, and Marjorie Anderson seconded the motion. All were in favor.

Treasurer’s Report:   Paula Hook gave the treasurer’s report.  All the 99 aprons ordered have been paid for.

Committee Chairs: Jann announced that Connie Copeland has agreed to serve as membership chair, and Amy Yersavich will take over the scrapbook. We still need someone to take over publicity, e.g., send in notice of our chapter activities to NCS for the “Waypoint” and to International for The 99 News.

Report of Standing Committees: 

• Airmarking:
  Jo-Ann reported that the compass rose painting at Delaware Airport (DLZ) went very well. There was a good turnout and they finished in short order.
• Publicity:
  Jann reported that Dawn Valasco agreed to be the Publicity Chair for the S.V. Chapter.

Old Business:  

• Charma reported that she contacted City BBQ about eating at their restaurant and raising money for our Chapter.
  Janie talked about the DLZ Fly-In coming up this weekend. She said we have enough volunteers to man our 99s booth both Saturday and Sunday. Marjorie Anderson is to bring the 99s display for the booth and Jann is bringing 99 brochures and other 99 handouts. Paula Hook is bringing the travel mugs and aprons to sell during the Fly-In. Janie reported that Rich Packer has agreed to donate a Stearman ride and another pilot has agreed to donate an aerobatic ride. We will sell raffle tickets during the Fly-In for these rides.
• Paula Hook and Lori Robishaw attended the 99s International meeting in Alaska. Since Lori hadn’t returned from Alaska, Paula said that they would save their report about the meeting until the September Chapter meeting.
• It was reported that our own Chapter member, Joan Mace, and another CFI, Don Fairbanks, were the only two CFIs to be inducted in to the CFI Hall of Fame this year.

New Business:

• Gail Dean asked the Chapter about the possibility of having a monthly Chapter meeting at a time other than a Wednesday evening. She would like to schedule a tour of the CMH tower for the Oct meeting but they only offer tours during business hours Monday thru Friday (possibly Saturday daytime too). Jann suggested possibly setting up a Bolton tower tour instead since she believes they can possibly handle a tour in the evening hours.
• The Chapter voted to pay $5 for hard copy Waypoint subscriptions for each S.V. 99 member who does not have access to e-mail (the $5 charge is for those Waypoint subscribers who cannot obtain their issue electronically).
• Paula Hook mentioned that the 2009 International Meeting will be held in Chicago and our Chapter is responsible for making the posters and signage needed at the meeting.

Announcements:

• Last Chance to “register” with Jo-Ann Prater! For the La Casa trip September 19-21. Call or e-mail Jo-Ann ASAP if you plan to go. Don’t miss out on this wonderful opportunity to visit an area that is one of true “gems” of the Southwest!!
• Gail Dean is hosting our October meeting and is planning a tour of the CMH tower! She has received confirmation from the FAA that we can have a tour on October 8 at 7pm. Please let Gail know if you can attend at the September meeting since she needs to get a head count. If you can’t make the September meeting and want to attend the tour, e-mail Gail at dean.16@wright.edu.
• Thanks to all the 99s and 49 ½ ers that helped out with the fun Delaware happenings this summer! First was the compass rose painting at DLZ in July and then the 99s booth at the Delaware Airport Fly-In in August. Almost all the donated bottled water and many 99 aprons and travel mugs were sold and will replenish the Chapter’s treasury/scholarship funds!

Adjournment:  Meeting was adjourned.

Respectfully submitted,
Ami Yersavich, Secretary stand-in
