We are having our annual pizza and elections night. As in the past, the club pays for the pizza and non-alcoholic beverages for the club members, spouses, friends, etc. This year, Alfy’s closes at 9:00 PM, so we need to be out by then.

I sent email to Phil Tallman, our AMA frequency coordinator, asking if the frequency analyzer had been sent. It was supposed to arrive the third week of Novem

The monthly meeting of the Barnyard Buzzards Model Airplane Club was called to order by club president, Ron Swift, on November 25, 2003 at 7:00 PM at the Monroe Library.  Ron introduced the attending board members and asked for any attending guests to identify themselves. Brian Pendal was a guest and introduced himself...

The president, Ron Swift then asked for a moment of silence in remembrance of Burt Baker who recently passed away.

Ron asked for a motion to approve the October meeting minutes as published in the monthly newsletter. A motion was made and seconded to approve the minutes. Motion passed.

Officer and Special Committee Reports:

Ron Swift reported that the December meeting will be on December 9 and

it is our annual pizza meeting at Alfy’s Pizza in Monroe.  All members, spouses and guests are welcome.

Vice President, Hap Shutz, sent an email stating that he is in Hawaii and requested that his name be taken off the nominations for Vice President for 2004.

Secretary, Bob Martin, reported that we now have 55 members.

Bob reported that he had heard back from the IRS regarding the application to make the club a not-for-profit organization. The IRS sent another form and stated that the one we had submitted was incorrect.  Bob has filled out the new form and sent it to the IRS.  They had also requested a copy of the Articles of Incorporation which no one can find. So he has requested another copy from the Secretary of State at a cost of $10 and will send a copy to the IRS when it arrives.
