Efforts are still being made to insure that the Mayday Event will still be a success.
Also discussed was having future events advertised in AMA monthly magazines and website.
Lee Pratt was not present to give a report as the Food Director. Please contact Joe Hagan to help out with this event.
New Business
Ernie Nettles sugested that we are putting on more events than we have volunteers to help and we should look for other avenues to subsidize our income other than raising dues for the members.
The turnout for scheduled events has been steadily declining and the club needs to find new ways to invoke public entrest. One suggestion is to start an annual raffle starting in the Mayday event selling three thousand raffles tickets for a big screen HDTV is one way we could do this.
Motion made to accept by Jerry Cox and 2nd by Buck Owens.
Joe Again who is a disabled indoor flier from the area wants to join LARKS
