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 .
