“Greetings from Chapter 64”-
Next meeting will be at Hangar 1 on November 7th. Don Karr will cook for the November meeting. Eat at 6PM, meeting at 7.

Mike Brenner's 2 year term as President will expire at the end of this year. Election for a new President of EAA Chapter 64 should be held at the November meeting. Mike would appreciate it if someone would step forward and accept the nomination.

The October minutes are as follows:
October 3, Hangar One

Secretary’s Report: Vote to forgo reading of Secretary's Report due to mailing of newsletter passed unanimously.
Treasurer’s Report: Treasurer's Report - $28,323.00 balance. Renew a CD that was coming due was suggested by Larry Frey and approved unanimously. Report approved as read.
Correspondence:
Old Business: The BD-5 was sold to Bryan Kissinger who had the highest bid at $95.00.
New Business: A member of Chapter 32 has an RV-6 kit for sale. Information was circulated and then attached to the bulletin board in the meeting room.

A KR-2 was donated to Chapter 64 from SWIC-Granite City. Need volunteers to pick it up. Mike Brenner, Larry Frey, Walt Hubert, agreed to pick it up on Oct. 10th at 9AM. Mike Brenner said it could be stored in his hangar at Sackman Field - Hangar # 36. (Sackman Field Fly-In/Open House is Oct. 22, 2006 if anyone wants to see it. Note: I think the Open House was re-scheduled to Oct. 29 due to weather.)

Craig O'Mara spoke about the Midwest Fly-In scheduled for May 5 & 6, 2007. Everyone is welcome to the meetings and they are looking for any suggestions to make it successful.

Young Eagles- We had a very successful Young Eagles Flight Saturday October 7th! The weather was picture perfect, one of those once a year days. We had reservations for 34 Young Eagles, but somehow ended up flying 47! This has never happened before, usually we lose a few. Had we known this in advance we would have rounded up an additional pilot.
Doc Hurd had to leave early but did a flight (flew 3). Our other 3 pilots were Bob McDaniel (flew 6), Wendi Sellers (flew 16) and Jerry Wade (flew 21). Thank you all and special congratulations to Wendi on her first ever Young Eagles Rally flight!

Of course, we cannot have a safe and successful Rally without Ground crew, and we had a very capable crew for this flight. Jim Pauling, Mike Brenner, Larry Louiseau, and Terry Ernst insured that safety was the number one priority. Sandy Wade and Kathy Frey handled registration and overall kept things going smoothly.

Mid-way through the flights Wendi developed a soft right brake, and Hank Huckshold had the problem corrected in 15 minutes. Thanks Hank.

Looking forward to the next Young Eagles Rally for Chapter 64.

Larry
