Meeting called to order by Wes Baker New members or guests: None
Website: We are still making the transition to fix the flip-page problem with the web based monthly newsletter. The PDF format newsletter had developed a problem with the flip page display because of advertisements that the company was injecting into the content. Because of that, we had to change provider for that feature.
Hangar: Earl Comyford is still working on the heater that went out just before the Christmas party. He is waiting on a new part for the controller and expects it to be fixed in a week or two.
Discussion Items: We had our Christmas Banquet last night and it turned out terrific. I thought it was great and the food was great. One of the things about it was it was the first time in a while we actually had it in the holiday season. The reason we didn ' t do that before was people had a lot of conflicts with other activities and people couldn ' t make it and that definitely happened last night.
Thanks again to Chris Campbell and John Hotovec. That was the first time in a long time I didn ' t have to worry about taking care of it. The only objection was that the timing was a little tight and that it needs have the date set far enough in advance so that people can plan for it better. So it was decided that the date should be set about 2 months in advance. John said he was happy with the comments received on the banquet and he felt the overall reception was very positive. Fritz said that the timing and actually having the Christmas party before Christmas was good. Chapter awards were also handed out last night and some people were not there so we have some more awards to give out.
An appreciation award was give to Chapter Treasurer Carl Brown. An appreciation award was given to Chapter Web Manager Ken Allison.
An appreciation award was given to Earl Comyford for all the hangar maintenance and for hauling out tons and tons of supplies for the breakfasts. Thank you Earl.
