DFWLITEFLYERS MEMBERSHIP MEETING

                SATURDAY, APRIL 26, 2008

Jeff Mountain, Club President called the meeting to order at 12:22 p.m.

Members present:  Robert Hoskins, David Morrow, Jeff Mountain, Greg Ennis, Leonard and Pat Zappa, Todd England,  Jan and Marvis Moore, Avis Neeper, Paul and Lisa Kupersmith and Mark Airey.   He welcomed everyone to the meeting and called for officer reports.

­Treasurer:

Robert Hoskins spoke for Alice Hoskins (Treasurer) that there was no change in our bank account balance.   Avis thanked everyone for the flowers and cards in response to Wayland’s surgery and recovery.  She also suggested that we invest the money in an account that will pay interest.  Jeff moved that we contact Alice and ask her to look into this possibility.

Old Business

Ethanol:  Greg had volunteered to check on availability of delivery of non-ethanol fuel, reported that he had no information yet.  He has been playing “phone-tag” with a Shell representative.

A discussion followed which resulted in Leonard Zappa agreeing to check on requirements and considerations with the homeowners at PropWash.  There was also a discussion about oil for our engines.  Wayland Neeper still has a supply of oil that is available to club members.

New Business:

Jeff thanked the club for the flowers and cards the members sent regarding his heart surgery.

Paul asked for suggestions for our next flying adventure. Member’s suggestions were Lake Whitney State Park airport near Burleson (David), Muenster TX (Marvis), Center TX (Robert), The Legend Aircraft Factory in Sulphur SpringsTX (Jeff), Pecan Plantation (Todd), Lake Murray, OK and Cedar Mills TX (Robert).

Everyone agreed on a Cedar Mills day trip May 17, 2008 with an early launch around 8:00 a.m.

Marvis suggested that photos of member’s aircraft and information about their aircraft be added to our web site. Pat suggested that each person wanting to do that, take the photo and the write up to Jeff, who is now acting as the club’s webmaster as well as club president.

There being no further business, Jeff Mountain moved that we adjourn the meeting.  Jan Moore seconded and the meeting adjourned at 1:00 p.m.

Respectfully Submitted

Jan Moore

 Secretary
