Minutes of August 2006 EAA Chapter 704

EAA Chapter 704 met for their regular monthly meeting on Monday, August 14, 2006 at the Sparta Paul C Miller Airport.

There were 27 present at the meeting including several guests.

President John Gill called the meeting to order at 7:00 p.m. and introduced several guests.
Glenn Holt had visited several times before and decided to join the chapter at this meeting. Mr Raleigh Smith was present representing his son-in law who has acquired a Starduster project in pieces and was asking for any help he could get in assembling this aircraft.

Kevin Flemming and his friend, Kim Miedema were also present and later in the evening Kevin presented a very good program and demonstration on various welding techniques with steel and aluminum. He had a trailer set up with equipment to do any sort of welding you might require and offered to let any of the members test their skill which several did.

President Gill presented a check for $500.00 to the club. He had received this from the Sparta Lion's Club as the chapter share in the profits from the pancake breakfast in July. It was noted that the Lion's Club had donated a sum to the Boy Scout group for their assistance and the chapter voted to do the same.

President Gill then brought up the idea of a chapter picnic and it was decided to hold a potluck picnic on Sunday, September 10 at 5:00 pm. This is the day before the regular September meeting so it was decided to make this the regular meeting of EAA chapter 704.

The meeting was adjourned to the program mentioned above.

Respectfully submitted,

Jay Dean, Sec/Prop Tem
