Old
Business…
1.
Swap Meet Review – No problems were reported on the setup
for the event. As far as manpower
was concerned, three (3) doors will be open and there are plenty of volunteers
for the jobs. Supplies are set
and in order for the kitchen. With
regard to parking concerns, illegal parking along the sides of the building is
a fire safety issue and announcements will be made to keep these areas clear.
Additional members will be on hand at the TCWS club table.
Approximately 90% of the tables have been sold as of the March meeting
(the highest rate to date before the event), which leaves about 20 tables left
to sell. Twelve (12) Reading
baseball tickets have been donated for a raffle.
Donations for other raffles include door prizes from Iron Horse
Hobbies, a 1/3-scale Christian Eagle by Rick Boyer, a Diamond Duster by Dave
Renninger, and a Corsair.
2.
Lime Application – Sam Miller has had it delivered to the
field. A motion was made by John
McLaughlin, seconded by Bud Wunder, and approved to have the Treasurer cut a
check to cover the cost of the expenses.
The Building & Grounds Committee will handle the application
process.
3.
Work Party (?) – Not much is needed for field preparation
at this time. The rolling will
take place in about 2 weeks. Sam
Miller has the rolling covered. The
upper part of the drive will be raked. It
may need some stone added. A
motion was made by Nelson Gould, seconded by Larry Smith, and approved to have
stone applied up to a cost of $250.
4.
Berks County TV (BCTV) Program Update – Channel 13 in
Reading; things are going well for the event.
Bud Wunder is to meet with members later. It is tentatively scheduled to air June 9 or 10 (Monday or
Tuesday) before the Fun-Fly. It
will be a 1-hour show and will include a map to get to the field.
The exact details on the showing will follow in the newsletter and/or
meeting by the May meeting date.
5.
Kutztown Vintage Days – It is scheduled for May 24 &
25, 2003. At the April meeting, a
commitment from members to bring models will be determined.
Our setup will be in a grassy area; we can bring our own tables or
place them on the ground for show. Details
are to be organized at the April meeting.
There
was no other old business at the time.
New
Business…
1.
Stone @ Parking Area (?) – Some club members have
approached Sue Christman on this issue already.
This idea has to be tabled until the grass comes in during spring.
2.
Flower Bed & Sign Area – The snowplow blade reportedly
hit this area. It is scheduled
for repair at the earliest convenience.
3.
New Freezer – Dave Renninger has delivered a new Frigidaire
freezer purchased at Lowe’s thru a discount from Terry Miller.
The cost was $235. The old freezer has been disposed of properly already.
George Case has painted the area around the new freezer.
There was no other new business at
the time.
