IV. Officer reports
– President: Mark Huntley IMAC profits $547.11 after expenses. Mark announced, he will not be CDing anymore IMAC events away from home, He will only CD TRCM events, except he won’t be available for the one in September.
– Vice President: Neil Gates Nothing
– Secretary: Al Doucette Broached the subject of not enough members to help out at club sponsored events. A big money maker, is lunches. For the IMAC event, outside vendors, wreaked them profits that should have been kept within the club. Both days I had to go into Walnut Grove and buy lunch at one of the café’s. The contestants were more than willing to pay $15.00 for a sandwich, nothing else. No chips, no potato salad, no drink. We can do better than that, give them a complete meal for less and keep the profits. We had enough money to pay for our new runway, but it won’t last
forever and the next one is going to probably cost us about $20,000.00 or more.
– Treasurer: Bob Keller We need volunteers to prepare the food.
– Field Marshal: Randy Laney, Anthony Green Cut grass a week ago, going to do weeds next week.
Safety coordinator: Nick Clayton Be safe, stay hydrated. A little more about smoking. The by-laws say there is to be
no smoking at all, not even in vehicles.
