This being the first meeting of the new season, prsident Smith held a discussion on the various tasks and the responsibilities necessary to carry on the meetings for the coming year.

President Smith commented that the EAA Chapter Handbook had suggested that each elected officer hold the office for a period of two years. After dome discussion it was moved by John Gill and seconded by Paul Spetoskey that we adopt the motion.

President Smith asked for volunteers to work with Vice President Dave Duperron as a committee to develop program ideas for the coming year. John Gill and Paul Kovalak agreed to do this and will meet with VP Dave in this reguard.

It was noted by Pres. Smith that there is a MOA just Northeast of our area and at time the military A-10 fighter aircraft flying low altitude that one should be aware of. The times of operation are listed on the flight chart and should be noted by any pilot flying in that area.

Vic Johnston, whose son Jermy is an A-10 pilot out of a base in Georgia, has attended one of their pilot briefings led by his son and was in awe at the type and amount of information that is relayed in one of these meetings. He suggested that sometime when his son is visiting he might go through one such briefing with us just to give us the experience of hearing one.

Meeting Adjourned 8:15 pm.
