There were 12 members present. Most of the wives were present at the meeting and the picnic. I couldn’t remember all their names. Randy Bond made a motion to accept August, 2007 minutes as printed in the newsletter, seconded by Dale Chiavene, motion carried. Howard Morstatter gave the treasurer’s report. Motion was made by Roger Kapraun to accept the treasurer’s report as given, seconded by Jim Underwood. Motion carried. Dave Goerne gave the field report. He reported that the field was in great shape. Dale Chiavene suggested that next spring we get in contact with some of the former members of the club and ask them if they would like to fly again. We will discuss more on this at one of our meetings before spring. We had a new member join our club after the meeting. Scott Hoge. Welcome to the club Scott! We hope you enjoy our field and the members. We are now up to 37 members in the club. With no further business to discuss, Mike Read made a motion to adjourn. Meeting adjourned. PRESIDENT’S CORNER By Burdette Ahlstrom I would like to thank all the people that came to our club picnic. I think everyone enjoyed themselves. I know we had a lot of good food. I just wish more people would come to our picnic, they don’t know what they miss. Not just the good food but the fellowship also. The flying was great, everyone did a great job of flying. NOTICE Once again I must ask everyone when they are at the field please use the frequency board and the impound area for your radios. Please don’t leave your radios on the ground by your aircraft. Nobody can tell if a radio is turned on or off. The frequency numbers must be displayed on your radios and the 72 mgh flag on your antenna if possible. Remember this is for your own safety. It may keep you from losing an airplane. Don’t forget, we will be nominating officers at the next 2 meetings. We will need a secretary. I don’t know what else we will need. Please try to be there. The voting will be at December meeting. Hope to see you all at the meeting. NEXT MEETING The next meeting of the Streator R/C Flyers will be. Wednesday October 17 th at 7:00 p.m. At the Bruce Township hall.
