EAA 800 Meeting Minutes
15 Nov 2008

The meeting was called to order at 10:15 AM in Dag's hangar by the President, Dennis Crawford.

The minutes from the 15 October 2008 meeting were read and approved.

Treasurer, Ray Guziak, reported that we had a balance in our account of $1346.

We had four guests:

• Tim Allen who is considering building a plane and owns "Bulldog Machine Shop"
• Randy Bremmer who moved here from Los Alamos and has a C206
• John Hurst, Sterling's brother
• Ross Talbott from New Castle who is interested in light sport aviation

VP Sterling reported the Oct 30 death of Don Hamilton. Memorial services at 2PM today. Also, he reported receiving an email from a Prescott AZ chapter member who is interested in selling his RV10 project.

Dennis reported on the Nov 1 Young Eagles event. In spite of short notice, seven pilots took twenty-two kids up for flights. Pilots who wish to be reimbursed for fuel cost were urged to talk to Ray.

Dennis gave an appeal for 2009 prospective officers to volunteer before being drafted. Both he and Sterling are stepping down after several years as officers. Ray and Steve are willing to continue as treasurer and young eagle coordinator/webmaster respectively.

Calendars are in and available for $10 ea. Ray suggested giving Dennis & Sterling one each from the chapter. The membership present approved the idea.
