Swap Meet Results
(as of 4/18/02) – The unofficial income and expense report from the TCWS March 20,
2002 Swap Meet was reviewed. The net income
was $1306.00. A few more items remain that
may change the final balance. A big thanks
goes out to all who participated for their help. A
complete apparel inventory was not know at the time, but has since been determined.
Field Clean Up
– At this time, little or nothing is to be done.
Sam Miller has over-seeded select areas. George
Case has made some repairs and also had keys made for the door locks. Thanks to both of these guys.

Field Preparation
– So far, all tasks have been done by the TCWS.
There is a concern about the large quantity of dandelion and clover on the field. Walt Gladney has checked into having a
professional service take care of weed control, etc.
This resulted in an approximate range of $279 to $300. Questions and concerns from the members were
voiced. We’re looking at having service
performed around mid-May. A motion was made
by Larry Smith to accept a proposal made by the “Green Giant” company but was
tabled for the present time. Walt was to
arrange for a meeting at the field between the Board of Directors and Green Giant to make
arrangements for the treatment. A motion was
made by Larry smith and seconded by Dennis Sell to approve the Board’s decision.
Fun Fly Preparation
– Larry Smith is the contest director (CD). We
still need people to 1) help with parking and 2) 2-4 people to assist with transmitter
impound and registration. Setup for the
contest is Friday, June 14 starting at 1 p.m. Volunteers
are needed for that day. We need people who
would be willing to volunteer the use of his or her canopy.
There is a need for a total of two (2).
