We need as many members to attend the July meeting as we can
get. We will be discussing and finalizing the plans for the Chapter Hangar
projects. The Board of Directors has done a lot of work preparing for this
meeting. We will have a vote on proceeding. Also, the club is accepting
donations for our hangar fund. We will have a can at each meeting, if you could
drop your change, small bills, or even big bills in the kitty. Every little bit
will help. Also, if you can think of something around your house that is of
value that you no longer use, please call a Board member or bring this up at a
meeting. I think we could sell stuff on ebay to raise money for the hangar as
well. Mike Lotz will be able to handle the listings as well as the shipping.
The June minutes are as follows: Happy 4th of July!! Hopefully the
heat wave will be over this weekend and we can get out and go flying. Check your
TFR’s if nearing St. Louis Mode C airspace.
