Lake Powell RC Modelers Meeting Minutes June 14, 2016

Members Present: Joe, Bob, Tom Z., Pam

1.       One airplane label with AMA and FAA numbers should be placed on the plane or inside the plane in an easily accessed area.  AMA sells a pack of 10 for $3.99.
2.       Treasurer Report by Tom Zwack: Current balance is $3761.80.  Tom will check with AMA about certificate of insurance for the field for 2016.  Note: Tom checked with AMA. We are up to date on insurance and copies were mailed.  AMA will mail us another certificate of insurance for our files.
3.       Portajohn maintenance is a shared responsibility.  Members have months of the year that they will be responsible for portajohn maintenance at the airfield.  Maintenance consists of pouring five gallons of water for the two portajohns every two weeks and stir it with the poop stick.  Please make sure that toilet paper is stocked in both and you can add blue chemical whenever needed.  The poop stick is kept between the two portajohns. Pointed end goes in the poop and square end is for your hand. The toilet paper and blue chemical is kept in the tan portajohn.  The toilet paper in the tan portajohn can be changed by removing the white cap on the holder and pulling out the dowel rod.  Please remind everyone that no paper towels are  discarded in the portajohns.  They don’t dissolve and must be removed.  Yuck!

4.       It is still too dry to roll the runway.  We have high hopes for next month’s monsoons.  When there is sufficient rain, we’ll roll the runway.  Until then, be careful as it is pretty loose.
5.       Pam is working on news stories for the paper and needs photos.  If you have a good workshop or finished model photo I can use, please let me know.  Next time you are at the field, please snap a few photos with your phone or give me a call to take some photos for paper and the club blog.  Thanks again to Judy Kitson for keeping out blog updated.
