Old Business

New Business

1. A motion was made to waive the membership dues for the six members present. The motion was seconded. Dave stated that this removes the financial burden for the members present and recognizes those who are committed to the club. (Editor’s note: it further removes any uncertainty as to who is a qualified member for the next item, namely election of officers.) Motion carried unanymously.

3. Launch Dates: New launch dates were discussed. Due to the nature of this topic, the rules of the meeting were temporarily set aside to allow open discussion. Bob set forward the suggestion that we make an allowance for a different date for the Fall Meet to encourage competitors from Wichita to attend our contest. His suggested dates were put forward.
