Old Business

 

Mall Show

 

The Mall Show is scheduled for the 4th weekend in March (March 24, 25 and 26). Bertle Spence (event coordinator) has requested 22 tables somewhere away from the game room (too noisy). There will be more discussion at the February club meeting including specifics for the raffle.

 

 

Snow Fly

 

The annual Snow Fly was discussed. The event will be held at Sawyer Field beginning at noon Saturday, February 4. “Hanger flying”, chili and munchies, and videos will be available in John Sawyer’s shop.

 

Bruce and Colleen Bumgarner have been given the task of ordering snow for the event – “six inches with a light crust” (no promises since Bruce and Colleen will be in Puyallup for the NW Hobby Expo). The weather forecast for Saturday is “breezy with a 70% chance of precipitation”.

 

Name Tags

 

Bruce and Colleen Bumgarner checked on pricing from Precision Engraving – a 1”x 3” name tag is approximately five dollars. A motion to purchase pins was moved, seconded and passed. A motion to pay for pins with club funds was moved, seconded and passed.

 

Meeting adjourned.

 

Thanks to Colleen Bumgarner for her meeting notes.
