At This Meeting:
We
will be accepting nominations from the floor for Club President, Vice President, Membership Secretary/Treasuer, Field Boss/Safety
Officer, Recording Secretary. The term for each of these positions is one year and you need only be a paid up member

Minutes
July 20, 2005

Roll Call:
Membership Secretary, Gary Billmaier, 14 members present. The total paid up membership at this date is

and even as late as October. When this happens, those memberships carry over into the next flying season.
Treasurers
Report:
Treasurer Gary Billmaier reported that as of this date there are no outstanding bills. Grass cutting
from June 20th to this date number 4, for a total expense of $340.00. Normally in previous years the grass needed cutting
more often, but due to the lack of rain during this period the grass did not grow as fast.
Club Logo on Hats and Shirts:
John Schell reported that he found a supplier who will silk screen shirts with the club logo. The charge
which includes the white "T" shirts silk screened is between $8.00 and $10.00. Those interested notify John at the August

Float Fly:
There was a float fly held on Saturday July 16, 2005. There will be a second float fly on August
20, 2005. Bill Dewey reported that this event will be canceled and held in September if he cannot get someone to CD
the event as he will not be able to be present at the August event due to a conflicting situation. Call Bill if you
can take over the August Event. 419-693-5265.
Warning:
It was reported that there is a new
twist on kite flying. The kites are equipped with some type of camera which is controlled by a servo or servos.
Being that there is not a category listed for this type of kite flying, it is assumed that they do not belong to AMA.
you as a pilot of a powered aircraft which uses a radio signal for controlling same can be hindered in the safe operation
of your plane. Bill Dewey stated that last year unknown to him this was happening at a float fly. When he asked
one of the kite fliers what frequency he was using he was not sure, which gives you as the owner of an expensive airplane
something else to be concerned about.
Meeting adjourned at 7:37 P.M. Motion Bob Harrison, 2nd. John Schell
