Treasurer Dave Dix reported a balance of $2,169.41 and noted our liability insurance through EAA HQ is $277.00 per year. We’ll again need to complete an IRS filing as a 501C3 organization. He also reminded us that chapter dues will be waived the following year in which you fly at least 10 Young Eagles.

Rick and Deb Jones of Philipsburg’s CAP Squadron told us of their joint venture with the Philipsburg YMCA (they’ll supply lunch) to conduct a Wings and Things Day Camp for ages 7-9 on July 12 - 16 for perhaps $10 -$20 per person. It will include topics such as Basic Flight facts, Search and Rescue Techniques, and demos of rockets and RC model aircraft. Clearfield EAA will assist. They hope for one or two groups of up to 9 people each. CAP Major Long will provide an on-site static display. They hope we can help with this project, and our reaction was very favorable.

John Flohr recommended a website as an excellent place for free aviation safety articles and newsletters. It is www.genebenson.com.

Our EAA “Library” (video, tapes, manuals, literature, etc.) could use an airport home. Perhaps we could share some space with the CAP in the hangar lounge whenever it opens.?

Malcolm Morrison showed his considerable effort to upgrade our Hangar website. He has added links to other area aviation sites, listed area instructors, and our calendar. We may add membership criteria, photos of our member’s planes, and perhaps a classified ad option.

Members were reminded that the deadline approaches to replace our paper pilot license.

The Red Bull air races will be held in New York City over the Hudson 6/19/10.
