Old Business:

• Doo-Dah Parade: The parade is July 4 in Upper Arlington. [ed: No, it is in the Short North.]  There was discussion about asking the OSU student chapter of Women in Aviation and the All-Ohio chapter to join us. A practice session will be held during the June meeting with members asked to bring their airplanes if available.

• Bylaws: The chapter discussed the proposed changes to the bylaws to be voted on at the International Conference. After discussion, it was decided that the chapter delegates are to vote No on both Bylaw Amendment #1 to eliminate the Academic Member membership category and the accompanying Standing Rule Amendment #1. The vote was Yes on Standing Rule Amendment #2, which further elaborates on the Suspension or Expulsion Disciplinary Procedures voted on last year.

New Business:

• It was suggested that our chapter do something with the All-Ohio chapter; maybe meet together for a Sunday meeting?
