Up, Up, and Away

Amy Yersavich flew on Columbus Day to meet Terri Vrbancic and fly in her beautiful T-Craft. Went to Mt. Victory for lunch and Amy had a bad hand-prop experience – cut her shin but didn’t need stitches (klutz!). [Those are Amy’s words, not ours!]

Treasurer’s Report:  Report read by Charma Huddy.

• Charma still needs to disperse checks to the Mars Institute and make donation to 99s museum from proceeds of raffle. We would also like to pay for Pascal Lee’s hotel and airfare.
• Since we have money left over from the Section Meeting we will be making a donation to the North Central Section.

Report of Standing Committees:

Airmarking:

• JoAnn reported that the compass rose we were planning to paint in Angel Fire, NM next fall has already been completed by another chapter. We can still go to La Casa. We will plan the trip to coincide with the Albuquerque Balloon Festival (3 ½ hour drive to Albuquerque from the Casa). JoAnn would like a definite count by August 2007. The Casa can sleep 16 people comfortably but can accommodate 25.
• A compass rose has already been painted at Coshocton airport by another chapter.
• We will definitely paint one at Delaware County airport in the spring.
• Marilynn Miller will ask Mark Mulcahey if we can paint one at Bolton, and Lori will ask Doug Hammon if we can paint one at OSU airport.
