New Business:

Lock both gates when you are the last one to leave the field. When any one is flying at the field the new gate will always be closed and the old gate can be left open. Low spots will be filled when the field is oiled or resurfaced. Steve Mitchell has volunteered to become the Field Marshal and if he thinks that the field should be close due to rain or any other reason, it will be on the Squadron Website.

The numbers on the Combination Lock will not be changed at this time; but will be discussed at the March meeting.

The America Flag will be posted on the field.

A raffle is held at each meeting and the raffle tickets are 6 for $5.00.
