By Doug Larson

EMSL Meeting Room 1075, 05/19/2004

Welcome - President Dennis Cone welcomed the attendees. Treasury report by Fred Fisher, total club assets are $2271.52 in the checking account, $5000 in a money management account and $2700 in a CD and $647 in the checking account.

Field Report – The watering has been generally good but a dry spot persists toward the southwest end of the runway. A proposal to relocate an existing sprinkler was discussed and will be done as soon as practicable.

New Business – The ARC voted TCRCM as the “Support Organization of the Year”. Club President Dennis Cone will attend a ARC Banquet to receive the award. The Heli Event was attended by 35 pilots who enjoyed good flying weather and good food. Financial outcome of the event was about a break even. Dennis Cone will deliver the funds to the City of Richland which are due them from the Heli Event. Conducting another CD training class was discussed and will be scheduled in the near future. The lease agreement with the City of Richland has been signed and will be sent back to the city officials. The lease agreement is basically the same as the previous. The portable restroom at the field was discussed in that it may need replacing and the city is suggesting an ADA compliant unit may be considered. The merits of an ADA restroom at our facility seemed low to those in attendance. A pattern contest is coming to Weaver Field on Memorial Day Weekend. Gordon Anderson asked about borrowing the chairs from the field and a table. Tacit permission was extended. The TCRCM Pattern Contest is scheduled for August 7th & 8th.

Old Business – Bob Julian is still recovering from his near miss. The club members plan to provide some kind of building project to keep him from getting bored at home. Meeting adjourned at 2010 hrs.

Show’n’tell: Bill Bowen brought some nifty gimbal sticks that he had made.
