Old Business:
The work is all most completed except for a couple of carpets, some awnings on the end & painting all the cement stanchions. Some of the cement stanchions need to be patch with mortar before painting. The Weedwacker club at Lakeside has some tables that they are giving away for free & Tom Clark will probably will pick up these tables and bring them to our field.

New Business:
Our parking lot needs a couple truckloads of Pea Gravel to provide a safe place our cars and trucks to park while we enjoy the sport of flying Radio Control Model Airplanes. The Pea Gravel is used on roads to make the black top smoother for automobiles to drive on. This Pea Gravel is use only once and then it is dumped in some Government lot for future disposal. If anyone knows where we can get a truck for a day and some free Pea Gravel, please call Bob Middleton at (619) 443-4791.
