The CO called the
meeting back to order at 1:50 PM.
1 A hearty thanks was
given to Brandon Edwards for his superior work with the WWII veterans.
2 Ron mentioned the
Hillsboro airshow invite. He also mentioned GA Day at Paine and OLY plus
others.
3 Fred reported on the
dinner party venue issue. The Renton Red Lion has been selected. Consensus
was the second Saturday, 9 Dec 2017. The issue with buffet dinner service
was discussed. This years price would be $60. A plated option could be
had for between $30 and $36. Pros and cons of both were discussed. Fred is
to poll the membership those likely to attend the party to see how
many would pay $60.
4 Smokey brought us up
to date on the formation clinic plans. Hotels are available but we need
transportation help. Also need a web presence.
5 Dan Shoemaker
reported on the progress with King County IRT the indemnity agreement. He
is of the opinion all will be fixed for the 2108 B-17 visit.
6 Brandon Edwards is
moving forward on the lithograph project; he is collecting signatures of
B-17 crewmembers. When that is done, well make arrangements to let all
the squadron members know they are available so that all have an equal
chance to participate in acquiring them.
7 We discussed
possible display cases at the museum. Kent will meet with Laurie on the 15th.
8 A discussion ensued
on naming a squadron photog. John mentioned the importance of credentials.
Consensus was to have three through this season: Eric, Dan, Karyn. Ron is
to remind these three of their responsibilities to the squadron members,
especially those who give them rides. John mentioned someone had to put
together the dinner party slide show. Lyle hereby added due to his
background.
9 Smokey wondered
whether EAA would ever return to AWO. No answer.
10 Smokey wondered whether there was a
preferred format for business cards. He was showered with examples.
11 Dave mentioned the
need for transpo help at PWT and that marshallers would be needed.
