The remaining CD will be due the end of the month. Jim is considering splitting it up; some short term and some extended. Benny Butler said US Bank has a 3.7% 9 months available. Jim will check it out. The new electric range was purchased locally at Waggoner’s True Value at a discounted price. President White thanked the members that showed up early to cook and the cooks that brought in the outstanding breakfast. He reminded members there will be no breakfast at Ron’s until January 2010. The Howell County News featured the Memorial Fly-In on the front page of the October 14th issue. The article was passed around the room. A thank you card from Sandy Smith was read and the photos included were passed around. She said the Memorial Fly-In was a wonderful tribute and meant so very much to her. Saturday morning, October 31st John Bailey brought several cub scouts in to use the simulator and tour the hangers. A photo and article were also in the Howell County News. The Christmas celebration/meeting will be held December 12th. Phyllis White announced she takes every opportunity to invite local people to the hangar to let them know who we are and what we do. On December 12th, Willow Springs will have the annual Christmas parade at 10 AM followed by the Willow Springs Band Fundraiser Home Tour noon to 4 PM. They will need a place to serve refreshments and the hangar would be great. The group brings in all the food; they just need accommodations. She asked if the members had any objections to hosting the group. The hangar will be decorated for our meeting anyway. She suggested we plan to eat about 5 PM and have the meeting to follow. Jack Richardson thought it was a very good idea to let ore people know we are here. Jack made a motion to host the event, second by Jim Vokac and approved by members present. President White acknowledged guests Nick Thompson and Rebecca visiting from Greece. Nick is not new to the area; he has a hangar at Mountain View and tries to return yearly. President White thanked the members that brought in canned goods for the M.U.N.C.H. food drive. We will continue the food drive in December. M.U.N.C.H. struggles this time of year to provide needy families with enough food. Treasurer Vokac reminded members that dues are due by January 1, 2010; individual $10, family $15. Pay
now and avoid the rush. Secretary White will be calling on members for food items for the Christmas dinner. It will be traditional
holiday menu of turkey and trimmings. Members will be asked to prepare specified dishes. A motion to adjourn was made by Benny Butler, second by Bob Brantley and approved by the membership present.
