The February meeting was called to order by chapter president Alfred Gabelli at approximately 10:30. The minutes from the January meeting were read and approved. Treasurer Ken Hurt reported balances of $25 in savings, $925.17 in checking and $95 in petty cash. His report was approved. President Gabelli is still updating the roster and will share it with the officers before it goes on the website.

There was some discussion of the AVARE app for android phones that was mentioned in the January minutes. We decided to have a program on aviation apps for our June meeting.
