Meeting Minutes

The meeting was called to order by Jann Bowne.

Attendance: Myra Jamison, Constance Copeland, Paula Rumbaugh, Jann Bowne, Paula Hook, Jo-Ann Prater, Dawn Velasco, Fleda Anderson, Mary Biller.

Minutes of Previous Meeting: Paula Hook requested a change in the December meeting minutes. She would like the treasurer’s report to say that the deposit of $112.00 included $6.00 from Ohio quarters. The way it is written it sounds like $112.00 worth of quarters was deposited. The December meeting minutes stand approved as corrected.

Treasurer’s Report:   Membership dues are due next month. 

Please let Paula know if you would like to donate to the International Health Service.

Report of Standing Committees: 

• Airmarking:
  On 3/18/2009, Mary Biller contacted Charlie Goodwin of the Columbus Port Authority to request permission to paint a compass rose at Bolton Field.  Charlie said he would get back to us after he finds out what the FAA requirements are.
• Scholarship:
  - Paula Rumbaugh presented a check to Paula Hook from Carol Countiss for the Countiss Scholarship.  The recipients of this scholarship are Fleda Anderson and Dawn Velasco.
  - Paula received two applications for the Alice Jackson Scholarship.  Both applicants are OSU students – one is studying aeronautical engineering and the other is in accounting at Fisher College.  Each student will be given $1,500.
  - Paula Rumbaugh made a motion to remove $3,000 from the CD when it comes due in March to use for the scholarships.  Myra seconded the motion; all were in favor.
