1.       Treasurer Tom Zwack reported a current balance of $3921.80. Pending bills are for potty service.
2.       AMA renewal is your start date so not necessarily January to December for everyone.  We can check the AMA website for current membership.  People are encouraged to wear their membership card in the provided clip-on badge when flying at the field.  If you have been a member of AMA for some time, your renewal is most likely January to December.
3.       FAA registration is now required to fly model aircraft.  Your FAA and AMA number should be on your plane.
4.       Tom Zwack’s donation to AMA was in the January magazine.  Thank you, Tom.
5.       Bleachers from the Tractor Club are up for sale.  They will be stored at the airfield until they are sold.
6.       Membership in Lake Powell RC Modelers is $40 and is from April 1 to March 31.  Election of officers will be held in March and they will take office in April. Joe McPhail is currently vice president and will assume the presidency if Pam leaves before April.
7.       Joe McPhail shared an app that you might find interesting.  ModelAirFieldMADB Please check them out at www.ma-db.com  Very interesting way to locate and see model airfields all over the world.
8.       Judy suggested an article for local news about benefits of the AMA and LPRCM membership for drone operators.  Pam will follow up.
