OLD BUSINESS:
Club dues are $40.00 a year & are due by December 31st, 2005. The County has done some work on the end of the runway. They have leveled off the South end, put rocks around the drain using concrete to hold the rocks in place. They have also used straw on the dirt there so be careful with your plane; your engine may suck some straw down the carburetor. On the left side on the South part of the runway the black top has some deep gullies.

New Business:
None
