President’s Report: Congratulations to Duane Nichols, and all the supporting officers of the 2001-2003 term for a job well done. You’re going to be a hard act to follow. Well, it looks I’ve gotten myself into exactly where I never thought I’d be. But I think with the help of you guys I can pull this off. I have decided my new motto as club president is going to be “you get what you pay for”. I feel this club should be a working collaboration of what every member is willing to bring to the table. I don’t believe in calling any one person’s efforts or actions a club. My emphasis will be on trying to find out what you as members want, and are willing to contribute. I would really like to keep our goals and activities in perspective with what our membership is comfortably capable of doing as a team. Putting undo burden on any one individual makes a real job out of this hobby. Whatever direction this takes us in, I think we can have a lot of fun, and to me, that is what this hobby is all about...your president, Kevin Kuehn.    

                                   

Minutes:  Started meeting at 7:00 p.m. 12 members were present. Minutes were read and approved, A brief paragraph of the AMA rules were read to inform members of the basic coverage, and how it is applied in case of an incident. A previous motion was approved to amend the bylaws article 9 section 1 and 3. Our committee has amended to now read, (1). Annual club dues are to be paid by January 31^st of the current year. After Jan 31^{st,  a} $10.00 late charge will be incurred in addition to regular dues. (3). New members who join after July 1^st will pay a prorated membership fee of half of the regular dues (currently $12.50). A motion for pilot trainers to come up with wording for a new article called “ Pilot Training” in our bylaws was approved. Trainers have 2 months to work on this. Wording should include something on new members being trained before or after joining the club. There was a suggestion for updating our safety rules, and displaying them at the field. We are invited to the model train show February 7^th and 8^th, at the mall in Rice Lake where we can display our airplanes etc…We have also been invited to Menomonee WI, to display our planes sometime in April.  50/50 winner was Chuck Dorey. Meeting adjourned.
