Meeting Minutes
June 16,2004
The June meeting of the Recker R/C. Club was held a t the club field on June 16, 2004.
The meeting was called to order at 7:00 P.M. by President Bill Dewey.
Roll Call: Membership Secretary: Gary
Billmaier, 13 members present. The club now has as of this date 70 paid up members. Gary reported that the grass
has been cut 9 times since the May 19, 2004 meeting. The reason for the high number of cuttings necessary was due to
the rapid growth brought on by the unusual high rain fall.
Treasurers Report: Gary Billmaier Treasurer.
Gary reported that the grass cutting charge for approximately 30 days was $765.00 Gary also reported that all outstanding
bills have been paid except for the gravel and the Bobcat rental. See old business for more details.
Old
Business: Ed Grabenstetter reported that part of the gravel has been delivered and spread on the driveway approach.
The original amount thought to be needed was 4 or 5 loads. Ed reported that the hauler goes by the tonnage and as
this date he feels that the amount delivered to date is approximately 17 tons. Do to the inclement weather the hauler
had to stop the balance of the delivery, approximately 20 plus tons until the ground is firmer. When the total amount
of gravel is delivered, the process of spreading same will be finalized. President Dewey reported that Ken Moore has found
and purchased a frequency scanner. The scanner is used but in perfect shape and the savings of buying this scanner rather
than a new one was significant. The club paid $200.00 for this scanner.
Motion to adjourn at 7:14.

What A Great Change We have in the parking area at the
field. If you have been somewhat disappointed in our parking area and have not been to the field in some time, you will
be very pleased. Ed Grabenstetter has stoned the parking area with screenings and it really looks great. Hat's
off to you Ed. We all appreciate all of your hard work, many thanks.
That's All I Have At
