EAA 279 meeting July 12, 2019 at Cranland Airport

Members present – 10

Guests - 1

Officers present - Andy Baker, and Gerry Scampoli

The Secretary’s report was accepted as reported in the newsletter with no changes.

Gerry Scampoli presented the treasurer’s report. As of the end of June we had $897 in the bank. The

treasurer’s report was then accepted as read.

Old business:

None discussed.

New business:

We had a guest Christine Hagerty. She is a college student interested in aeronautical engineeringand did not find the projects available to her at school to be of interest, so she came to see what we were

about. Gerry took her over to show her his project after the meeting.

We had a discussion about the clubs finances. Gerry figures that we need about $4400 to carry us

through the winter. We take in about $5600 from our pancake breakfasts it we have average weather

and turnouts.

We also discussed what we would need to complete the Sonex in terms of money but we did nothave a

good answer but it would seem that the most expensive items have been acquired.

Steven Brown from the FAA is planning on being at our next meeting. He will discuss homebuilt aircraft safety. We will hold it at the green hanger and will provide some light refreshments. Chris Hirl will see if it can be publisized in the Plymouth Aero Club newsletter and put it out on aviation social media.

Charlie Lohmiller gave us a report on Shannon our Ray Scholarship person. She completed her CAP Bangor Maine flight program with about 10 hours. She has started over at Marshfield Airport with Shoreline Aviation and has an hour or two completed there. Not quite soloed yet

but doing very well.

We discussed providing ice cream sandwiches or Klondike bars at the fly-in. We thought that we could try out about 50 bars and see how they sell. Someone could take them around after things get rolling.

Meeting was adjourned about 8:10 PM.
