NEWSLETTER OF THE

The next meeting of the Calumet Flyers will

pm.

Meeting was called to order at 7:15. 25

members were in attendance.

For future reference, if we need access to the

Outreach Building call Jeff at 989-2543.

Minutes from the November meeting were

read and approved.

The treasurer's report for November was

given. November expenses were utilities,

newsletter expenses, field supplies, propane,

Outer Limits Outreach donation, and raffle

prizes. December bills are newsletter

expenses, lawn cutting services, and gifts to

field neighbors. Motion passed to pay the

bills.

There was more discussion on the spread

spectrum radio system. It will keep track of

the receiver and the plane programmed into

the transmitter and make sure that they match

before the channel is activated.

Motion passed to pay Leon Cordy for his

efforts for field upkeep.

Motion passed to provide a gift certificate to

the field neighbors.

More discussion on the field improvements

was held. Per the drawing, it was decided to

add a new section to the field starting at the

northwest corner of the present field and

extending to the northeast for 250 feet. This

will place the new field eastern boundary

about 25 feet from the road and will allow an

800-foot runway at the longest point. It will

also provide an area about 300 by 700 feet for

normal field operations.

A motion was passed to proceed with the field

improvements as discussed with a cost limit of

$ 4,500. The work is expected to start near

the end of August.

A field and grounds committee or similar

group will be established to coordinate the

efforts of the members to put in the grass

seed and fertilizer once the field is leveled.

Guest: Tim Miller

Meeting adjourned at 8:25

Secretary

Happy New Year! Welcome 2007! It

should be a very good year for the

Calumet Flyers. At the last meeting, a

motion was made and passed to make

considerable field improvements

beginning in mid-August of 2007. It will

require some sacrifice in flying time for

the latter part of the year, but we

should be able to start 2008 with all the

improvements completed. More

discussion will come as plans are

finalized and the time to get to work

draws near.

More immediately, we have the

Snowflake Fly/Chili Dump, and the

annual banquet coming up in February.

If you plan to attend the banquet,

please get your money in soon so that

we will know how many people will be

attending. The food is always great!

By that time, we ll be half way to

spring! Also, be sure to get your AMA

license and memberships renewed.

I hope to see all of you next year in

good health, and in good flying form at

the field and the river.

Good Flying!
